In the Republic of North Macedonia, in 2020, there were 369 new cases of cancer of the uterine body, which were 10.9% of all new cases of malignancies and was the third most common in women, after breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Endometrial polyps are common pathological findings and their prevalence is between 16% to 34%. The prevalence of malignant and premalignant lesions found in the endometrial polyps ranges from 0.8% to 4.8%. Uterine serous carcinoma is an aggressive variant of EC that accounts for only 5-10% of all EC, but is related with 80% of endometrial cancer–related deaths. It is not related with increased estrogen levels and atypical endometrial hyperplasia. They arise in a background of atrophic endometrium or endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women. We present a case of 72 years old patient with serous carcinoma of the uterine corpus that arises on endometrial polyp. She was 20 years postmenopausal and bleeding was present. The transvaginal ultrasound examination showed that heterogeneous and irregular endometrial thickening was present. We performed fractionated explorative curettage. The histopathological report showed the presence of the parts of an endometrial polyp with surface that is coated with atrophic endometrium, and in parts it was coated with malignantly altered endometrium. The morphology of serous endometrial carcinoma with complex papillary and glandular architecture was present. Pathological mitoses have been verified. Lymphovascular invasion or infiltration of the cervical stroma were not found. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Histopathological analysis of the operative material showed the absence of lymphovascular infiltration but present infiltration of the cervical stroma (pTNM= pT2 pNx pMx R0 L0 V0 Stage II). The patient was referred for further treatment to an oncologist.

Neural tube defects are congenital malformations of the CNS resulting from defective closure of the neural tube during early embryogenesis between 3rd and 4th week of intrauterine life. It involves defect in the skull, vertebral column, the spinal cord and other portion of CNS. It occurs about 1 to 5 per 1000 live births. Myelomeningocele is most common and severe form of spina bifida cystica, characterised by protrusion of spinal cord through the open vertebrae into the amniotic fluid. We present a case of a 25-year-old pregnant woman who came into our hospital in the 17th week of pregnancy with characteristic ultrasound signs for the presence of fetal spina bifida. Lumbosacral meningomyelocella was present. The anterior part of the head started to develop ‘‘the lemon sign’’ and cerebellum showed ‘‘the banana sign’’. Dilated lateral ventricle was also present. There was anamnesis for folic acid supplementation starting at 6 weeks of gestation. We performed induction of labour with oxytocine and termination of this pregnancy. The autopsy report showed the presence of spina bifida in the lumbosacral region, with a defect of the skin and the vertebral arches, measuring 1.7 × 1 cm, with protrusion of meninges and the spinal cord.

Objectives: Dysfunctional endometrial bleeding is often during the menopausal transition as a result of hormonal changes during this period. In postmenopaus, there should be no uterine bleeding. Postmenopausal bleeding occurs in approximately 90% of patients with endometrial cancer, but only 9% of women with postmenopausal bleeding have endometrial cancer. The aim of this study is to determine the histopathological changes of the endometrium that occur in women with perimenopausal and postmenopausal bleeding and the association with endometrial thickness and anteroposterior diameter of the uterus. Methods: This study involved 120 patients with fractionated explorative curettage due to abnormal uterine bleeding. The examined group was divided in two subgroups: 60 women in perimenopausis and 60 women in postmenopausis. Anamnestic data were taken from all respondents. Ultrasound measurement of anteroposterior diameter of uterus and endometrial thickness were made with endovaginal ultrasound probe. Results: The most common pathological change of the endometrium was an endometrial polyp (in 45% of the respondents). 26.7% of perimenopausal women had dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Endometrial adenocarcinoma was present in 3% of perimenopausal and in 5% of postmenopausal women. The average value of the anteroposterior diameter of the uterus was 50.7 mm in perimenopausal, 37.3 mm in postmenopausal group, and the difference of 13.4 mm was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). The average thickness of the endometrium was 13.6 mm in perimenopausal, 10.3 mm in postmenopausal group, and the difference of 3.3 mm was statistically significant (p = 0.00011). Conclusions: Fractionated explorative curettage is an effective method for timely and effective diagnosis of pathological changes of the endometrium in women with abnormal uterine bleeding Perimenopausal patients had significantly higher anteroposterior diameter of the uterus and thicker endometrium than those in the postmenopausal period.

Atypical endometrial hyperplasia is preneoplastic condition that precedes endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Postmenopausal women should not have bleeding; the thickness of the endometrium is normally below 5 mm and if it is above, the presence of a polyp, hyperplasia or cancer is suspected. To determine the histopathological changes of the endometrium, the prevalence of functional and organic changes and their association with history of previous childbirths and abortions, presence of bleeding, intensity of bleeding, anteroposterior uterine diameter and endometrial thickness. The study was performed in the Specialized Hospital for Gynecology and Obstetrics "Mother Teresa" - Skopje and involved a total of 120 respondents who underwent fractionated explorative curettage due to a medical indication. They were divided into 2 groups: with functional and organic changes of the endometrium. Ultrasonographic measurement of anteroposterior diameter of uterus and endometrial thickness was performed. The prevalence of functional changes was 30% and of organic changes 70%. The most common histopathological diagnosis was an endometrial polyp (45% of women). The mean value of endometrial thickness was 7.9 mm in the functional changes group and 13.6 mm in the organic changes group; this difference was statistically significant (p <0.0001). Perimenopausal patients had a significantly longer duration of bleeding than those in postmenopause (p = 0.0009). Endometrial adenocarcinoma was present in 3% of perimenopausal and in 5% of postmenopausal patients. Endometrium was significantly thicker in women with organic changes than in those with functional changes. Perimenopausal patients had a significantly longer duration of bleeding, more intensive bleeding, thicker endometrium and greater anteroposterior uterine diameter than those in postmenopause.

Cornual pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy where the embryo implants in the junction between the fallopian tube and the uterus. Only 2% to 3% of all tubal pregnancies are cornual. Uterine rupture may occur in up to 20% of the cases of cornual pregnancy that progress beyond 12 weeks of amenorrhea, resulting in massive hemorrhage due to high vascularity in this region through the branches of the uterine artery. Despite the availability of modern diagnostic modalities including transvaginal ultrasonography, there is difficulty in the early diagnosis because of its location. We present a case of unruptured cornual ectopic pregnancy in a 40-year- old woman with amenorrhea of 7 weeks. In our case, the diagnosis was made early and laparoscopic cornuostomy with removal of the gestational sac and ipsilateral salpingectomy were performed, followed by laparoscopic repair of the cornuostomy incision. Hemostasis was achieved with electrocoagulation. This caused minimal hemorrhage without intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common pathological findings and their prevalence range is between 16% to 34% depending on characteristics of the examined population and detecting methods. Clinically, these lesions cause thickening of the endometrium and abnormal uterine bleeding. Asymptomatic EPs can be detected by routine ultrasound examination or infertility investigations. Most EPs are benign. Their malignant potential is highest in postmenopausal women with uterine bleeding (2.3%). Serous carcinoma is the prototype of type-II endometrial cancer (nonendometrioid) and accounts for <10% of all endometrial carcinomas. It is a very aggressive tumor, unrelated to estrogen stimulation, arising occasionally in endometrial polyps or from precancerous lesions developing in atrophic endometrium that mainly occur in older women. We present a case of 72-years-old patient with uterine bleeding, with thick and heterogenous endometrium detected on ultrasound. Fractionated explorative curretage was performed and serous carcinoma that arises in polyp was diagnosed. After operative treatment, histopathological analysis of the operative material showed stage II of the disease.
