Cor triatriatum sinister as an incidental finding in elderly woman

Cor triatriatum is a rare condition. It comprises around 0.1% to 0.4% of all congenital heart malformations. There are two types of this anomaly: cor triatriatum sinister (CTS), which is more common and accounts for 92% of all cases, and cor triatriatum dexter (CTD). This condition usually presents at an early age and is diagnosed mainly during early childhood. In some patients, who have less severe cases of CTS, diagnosis could be made in adulthood. We report an unusual case of a 78-year-old woman who was diagnosed with CTS for the first time. The patient was admitted to the cardiology department with symptoms of chest pain and dyspnoea. Physical examination revealed diffusely diminished breath sounds, with focal wheezing, and irregular heart rate, with no murmurs, while blood pressure was 140/90 mmHg. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an accessory membrane in the left atria suggestive of CTS.

Polypus fibroepithealis vulvae

Fibroepithelial polyps of the vulva are specific mesenchymal lesions that are commonly found in the vulvovaginal region in reproductive period and in premenopausal females. We present a case of a 36 year old female, who came for examination because of interruption of unwanted pregnancy. During the examination we revealed a large flank mass on the stalk, which started from the right labia. Tumor formation was measuring 165x120x10mm, soft consistency, painfully insensitive to palpation. The tumor was removed by excision, cutting the stem at the base and the material was sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological findings confirmed that this is a fibroepithelial polyp of the vulva.
