RACK 5 EMBERYLOGY WITH ANOMALIES

Fibrosis refers to the formation of excessive fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue, which can lead to changes in its structure and function. In the context of the ovary, fibrosis can occur as a result of various conditions, including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or certain types of tumors.

The gross anatomy of the ovary affected by fibrosis can include the following features:

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can develop within the muscle tissue of the uterus.

The gross anatomy of the uterus affected by fibroids can include the following features:

1. Size and shape: The uterus is a pear-shaped organ that measures about 7.5 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 2.5 cm thick. The size and shape of the uterus can vary depending on age, hormonal changes, and pregnancy.
2. Layers: The wall of the uterus consists of three layers: the endometrium, the myometrium, and the perimetrium.

• Endometrium: The innermost layer of the uterus that lines the uterine cavity.

The uterus is a female reproductive organ that is composed of several anatomical structures. Fibroids, which are also known as leiomyomas, can occur in different parts of the uterus. Here are some anatomical points related to a fibrous uterus:

The uterus is a female reproductive organ that is composed of several anatomical structures. Fibroids, which are also known as leiomyomas, can occur in different parts of the uterus. Here are some anatomical points related to a fibrous uterus:

1. Size and shape: The ovaries are almond-shaped organs that measure about 2-3 cm in length, 1.5-2 cm in width, and 1 cm in thickness. The size and shape of the ovaries can vary depending on age and hormonal changes.
2. Location: The ovaries are located in the pelvic cavity, one on each side of the uterus, attached to the broad ligament by a mesovarium.
3. Layers: The ovary consists of an outer cortex and an inner medulla.

• Cortex: The outer layer of the ovary that contains follicles, which are small sacs that contain immature eggs.

Mucinous thyroid cancer is a rare type of thyroid cancer that arises from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland. It is characterized by the presence of abundant mucin, which is a complex mixture of glycoproteins and carbohydrates, in the tumor cells. Mucinous thyroid cancer is considered an aggressive subtype of thyroid cancer and has a poorer prognosis than other types of thyroid cancer.

Tuberculosis of the ileum is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that can present with chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. The diagnosis is often challenging and requires a high degree of suspicion.

Histopathological examination of the ileal biopsy samples showed granulomatous inflammation with caseating necrosis, consistent with tuberculosis. Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were detected on Ziehl-Neelsen staining.

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus.

Fibroids can vary in size and location within the uterus. They can be small and undetectable to the naked eye or grow to be large and distort the shape of the uterus. Some fibroids grow within the uterine wall, while others grow on the outer surface of the uterus or extend into the uterine cavity.

1. Location: The uterus and ovaries are both located in the pelvic cavity of the female reproductive system.
2. Relationships: The ovaries are located on each side of the uterus, attached to the posterior surface by the ovarian ligament and to the pelvic wall by the suspensory ligament. The uterus lies between the bladder and rectum and is attached to the pelvic walls by several ligaments.
3. Size and shape: The uterus is a pear-shaped organ that measures about 7.5 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 2.5 cm thick.
