We hereby report a rare case of a woman who presented with symptoms of urogenital prolapse and menorrhagia. She was erroneously diagnosed to have cervical mass and underwent examination under anesthesia and was found to have only a vaginal leiomyoma. The fibroid was enucleated successfully through a vaginal incision. We discuss the rare case.

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as an extrauterine pregnancy. We report three cases where the ectopic pregnancies were
implanted in different sites. The first case was a 28-year-old in her second pregnancy at 9 weeks gestation. She
presented with painless vaginal bleeding. Ultrasound showed unruptured cornual pregnancy with hCG level of
7456mIU/ml. A single dose of 75mg IM methorexate was given and she responded well with significant reduction of
hCG level. The second case, a 26-year-old gravida 5 para 2+2, with 2 previous ectopic pregnancies and bilateral
salpingectomy, conceived via in-vitro fertilization (IVF). She presented with acute abdomen and one episode of
syncope at 8 weeks 4 days gestation. Laparotomy showed ruptured ectopic pregnancy at the left tubal stump
requiring a left salpingectomy. The third case was a 26-year-old, gravida 5 para 2+2, with two previous vaginal
deliveries and two previous first trimester miscarriages. Her menses was irregular since she took injectable progestin.
She presented to the emergency department with sudden onset of lower abdomen pain. Urine pregnancy test was
positive. Ultrasound showed empty uterus, no adnexal mass but there was significant free fluid in the cul-de-sac.
During laparoscopy, a ruptured ovarian pregnancy was diagnosed and salpingo-oophorectomy performed. There was
no significant risk factor contributing to ectopic pregnancy identified in the first and third case. In the second case,
despite previous bilateral salpingectomy, the patient still had ectopic pregnancy in the left fallopian tube remnant.

We report a rare case of altered mental status in a young patient with immature ovarian teratoma. A 22-year-old
woman presented with seizures, hallucination, amnesia and orofacial dyskinesia. Examination and investigation
revealed an ovarian massand asalphing-oophorectomy was performed. The histopathological examination result
showed an immature teratoma grade 2 with thepresence of immature primitive glial tissue. Her CSF N-Methyl-DAspartic
acid receptor (Anti-NMDAR) antibodytest was positive. N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid receptor antibody
associated limbic encephalitis is an autoimmune antibody-mediated neuropsychiatric disorder. Resection of the
tumour and immunotherapy resulted in full recovery.
