This case reviews a unique course of a 39-year-old pregnant woman presenting on second trimester with an uncommon combination of vomiting, hypovolemic shock, pancreatitis and thyrotoxicosis. In this case report, we discuss a few possible explanations of presenting illness, including pregnancy-related and unrelated causes, with a possibility that a combination of some of these causes could have led the complete picture. We hope this study will contribute to the understanding of the causes and possible outcomes of acute and severe illnesses presenting during pregnancy.

Since the broad ligament is closely related to other structures, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, secondary involvement of it due to primary malignancy elsewhere is common. Primary broad ligament malignancies are rare. Only 29 cases of primary broad ligament malignancies have been reported in the literature, out of which only 5 cases of endometrioid adenocarcinoma [1]. Generally, the primary broad ligament tumor diagnosis is made retrospectively, intraoperatively, or on histopathological examination, due to its rarity. I have encountered a case where laparotomy and myomectomy were planned with a preoperative diagnosis of large subserous leiomyoma and intramural leiomyoma. Per operatively large friable mass was present between 2 leaves of the broad ligament on the right side, and a large adenomyoma was present in the posterior wall of the uterus. Subsequently, adenomyomectomy and excision of the broad ligament mass was done. On histopathology, the broad ligament mass was diagnosed as endometroid adenocarcinoma, and the uterine mass as an adenomyoma.

Madam C was a 39-year-old primiparous lady having history of one IVF pregnancy delivered by Caesarean section (CS). She was found cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2-3 with loop electro-excision procedure (LEEP) performed 6 months after her delivery while she was still breastfeeding. 1.8cm-thick, 2cmwide cervix was resected and diagnosed CIN 1. Two 6-monthly cervical smears were negative for CIN in the presence of transformation zone component. She presented to us 17 months after LEEP for severe lower abdominal pain which required pethidine for relief. She experienced hypomenorrhea with mainly brownish spotting, and intermenstrual spotting and dyspareunia since returning of menses 9 months after LEEP. Physical examination showed cervix was flushed with vault. Transabdominal (TAS) and transvaginal ultrasound scans (TVS) showed enlarged uterine cavity and endocervical canal filled with blood, up to 3.64cm. The clinical diagnosis was haematometra due to cervical stenosis after LEEP.
