Aggressive angiomyxoma is rare mesenchymal tumor that most commonly arises in the vulvo-vaginal region, perineum, and pelvis of women. The term aggressively emphasizes the often infiltrative nature of the tumor and its frequent association with local recurrence. Preoperative diagnosis and treatment may be difficult. We report a 55-year-old patient who presented with a pelvic mass with no significant medical history. The radiological assessment showed a pelvic cystic tumor retro and lateral bladder. A surgical excision was performed with a diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma pelvis that misdiagnosed as ovarian tumor. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy after surgery and remains well with no signs of local recurrence at 12 months follow-up. As surgery is the main treatment, preoperative diagnosis and assessment of extent of the tumor for planning surgery can not be overemphasized. The authors discuss this finding through the diagnostic difficulties and the evolution of this entity.

We report the case of a patient of 30 years with primary choriocarcinoma of the ovary. This patient referred for abdomino-pelvic mass suspected clinically and sonographically. Exploratory laparotomy was performed with the presence of two latero-uterine mass adherents to the highly vascularised uterus and difficult to resects deep plane with a mass left hepatic bleeding. A biopsy of both masses was performed and histological examination with immunehistochemical study returned for a primary ovarian non-gestational choriocarcinoma and the patient received 4 cycles of chemotherapy after hepatic artery embolization with good clinical, biological and radiological evaluation.

Recurrent foetal loss in early and late stages of pregnancy is a common problem of women affected by anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. The therapeutic scheme consisting of associating aspirin and heparin has shown an improvement of the prognosis for the next pregnancies. We report 3 cases of anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome and pregnancy, and we underline the clinical, therapeutic and prognosis features of this syndrome.
