Gynecologic amyloidosis.

Amyloidosis is a generalized metabolic disorder characterized by deposition of insoluble protein in the extracellular space of various organs. We have treated a woman presenting with menorrhagia and anemia, who was subsequently diagnosed as having systemic amyloidosis. This represents the first known documentation of amyloid involvement of the female reproductive tract.

Placenta percreta.

A patient with an unsuspected placenta percreta presented with intraperitoneal bleeding at 33 weeks' gestation. Because of the clinical picture and a lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio of 1:1, this patient was treated conservatively until 38 weeks' gestation when an L/S ratio test indicated fetal maturity. The pregnancy was successfully terminated by cesarean hysterectomy.

Primary fallopian tube adenocarcinoma presenting as a hydrosalpinx: CT appearance.

A case of adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube that presented as a small mucosal papillary growth in a large, otherwise noncomplicated hydrosalpinx is reported. Computed tomography clearly delineated the mucosal tumor and characteristic unilateral tubular shaped adnexal mass of the hydrosalpinx which was easily distinguishable from ovarian cystic masses.
