Supernumerary ovary: embryology.

This paper documents the fourteenth-ever recorded case of supernumerary ovary, and the second-largest reported thus far, a spherical 6 x 5 x 4 cm convoluted mass. Histologic examination revealed a hemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst within normal limits. Proposed mechanisms of formation are discussed, but definitive evidence of origin remains elusive. Although the presence of a supernumerary ovary may be clinically significant, many are overlooked, emphasising the importance of vigilance at laparotomy.

Association of human immunodeficiency virus-induced immunosuppression with human papillomavirus infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

Human papillomavirus infection plays an important causal role in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma. The rate of infection with human papillomavirus as well as the incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma are increased in immunosuppressed patients. We report a possible association between infection with human immunodeficiency virus and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with human papillomavirus infection.
