An abnormal, 1 cm in diameter appendix in a pregnant patient was demonstrated using graded compression sonography. Prior to the use of this technique, the suggestion of appendicitis on ultrasound examination was made only after observation of an abscess or peritoneal fluid.

We present two cases of histologically proven maternal intraperitoneal granulomata following cesarean section delivery. One patient presented during the immediate postpartum period with clinical symptoms consistent with subphrenic abscess. The other patient required operative intervention for a suspected ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess. In both cases, microscopic examination of the tissue obtained at the time of reoperation showed granuloma reaction, lanugo hair, and fetal squamous cells consistent with meconium deposition. The authors conclude that meconium granuloma should enter the differential diagnosis in cesarean section patients with unexplained postoperative pain.
