RETROPERITONEAL TERATOMA IN PREGNANT WOMEN-RARE PRESENTATION – SUCCESSFUL FETOMATERNAL OUTCOME

Retroperitoneal tumours originating from retroperitoneum without originating from major organs are rare. 70-80% of the primary retro-peritoneal tumours are malignant. Most common malignant tumours in this region are sarcomas. Most common benign lesion is lipoma and fibromas.

• CASE REPORT:26 years old G2P1L1, 15weeks 5 days gestational age came to OPD with incidental finding of dermoid cyst. Routine antenatal screening and MRI showed mass of size 29x17x11.8cms well defined abdominopelvic lesion with cystic and solid areas – probably dermoid cyst. Tumour markers were within normal limits.
• MANAGEMENT:Elective Laprotomy done at 17weeks of Gestation. Large mass 20x10cms displacing left ureter and kidney posteriorly, not infiltrating any vital organs. Mass resected and sent for biopsy – HPE revealed benign mature teratoma showing long bones with marrow material – possibility of fetiform teratoma. Patient came for routine antenatal checkups. Delivered by labour natural at term with no intra-partum and post-partum complications. USG done after 6 months – no significant abnormality.

1st CASE OF NEONATAL ALLO-IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIA – GOOD FETO-MATERNAL OUTCOME

• A case of BOH, booked and immunized at GG Pettai. previous baby died at 21 days on March 2022.The patient and the baby was referred to ICH for intracranial hemorrhage in march 2022 from chengalpattu medical college and the baby was evaluated in ICH for human placental antigen genotyping and HPA 3b and HPA 15b incompatability detected between the mother and baby and so this patient was advised to review at pediatric ICH hematology department for next pregnancy in march 2022.
• So in this pregnancy,on 4.7.23, at 15weeks of Gestational age, patient referred from chengalpattu medical college to pediatric hematology department ICH and IOG for further mangament.
• From pediatric department ICH, patient was discussed with Dr. Bipin kulkarni, NIIH, mumbai.
• Patient was advised to give immunoglubulins 30gram/week till delivery.As per hematologist opinion, patient was admitted and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIGs)was planned weekly once.
• Initially IV IGs Obtained from guindy since cost of IVIGs high
• 1. 1st dose given On 4.8.23(6 vials)
  2. 2nd dose given on 11.8.23(6 vials)
  3. 3rd dose given on 25.8.23(6 vials)
• Totally 18 vials given for the patient.12 vials purchased from TNMSC 6Vials from RGGGH Since IVIGS stock was exhausted in our hospital. NHM director was approached by Director of Institute. NHM accepted to issue the fund under operational cost for purchasing IVIGS. So totally 66vials(11doses given)
• Immunoglobulin were started weekly once upto 34weeks.On 14.11.23 patient admitted with draining pv, so inview of Prev lscs in labour emegency caesearean section was done. She delivered a preterm girl baby of weight 2.47kg on 14.11.23@8:02am So totally an amount of RS 3,34,416 was spent for this patient through our CMCHIS fund for preventing the transmission of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia for the baby. This is the first case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia delivered at IOG. We are proud to have the first case. The mother and the baby doing fine now.
