Ring chromosome 15 [r (15)], accompanied by a series of clinical symptoms, is a rare genetic disease. The genotype and phenotypic diversity of patients with r (15) still needed further enrichment. In this study we present a rare case of mosaic ring chromosome 15 with facial anomalies and extremities slenderness.

This case involves a 30-year-old woman, unpregnancy within 6 years. Clinical examination of the patient only revealed facial anomalies and extremities slenderness. The result of routine G-band karyotyping was 46,XX,r(15)(p12q26.3)[53]/46,XX,r(15;15)(p11.2q26.3;p11.2q11.2)[28]/45,XX, -15[10]/46,XX,r(15;15)(p11q26.3;p11q26.3)[4]. SNP array was employed to investigate the genome copy number variations (CNVs). click here The result revealed that there was a micro-duplication of 2.0Mbat 15q26.3(arr[ph19]15q26.3 (100,400,214- 102,429,112)×3). The duplicated chromosomal section encompassed genes including CHSY1, ALDHIA3, LRRK1, and INS1. We further compared to the cytogenetic characteristics and clinical symptoms of the patient with those already reported by reviewing the literature.

This report is especially helpful to supplement the phenotypic diversity of patients with r (15).

Angular and interstitial pregnancies have been reported with live births and are often complicated by adherent placentas. Most cases had been treated with hysterectomy or corneal resection.

We successfully treated four patients with conservative management (including one reported previously). Case 1 had a vaginal delivery, but the placenta remained attached. We maintained the patient under observation and delivered the placenta on postpartum day 9. Case 2 underwent a C-section. Uterine artery embolization controlled the hemorrhage without placenta removal. The placenta had disappeared by postpartum day 136. Case 3 underwent a C-section. The right uterine angle, where the placenta was attached, was bulging. We manually removed the placenta.

We propose a new entity in angular or interstitial pregnancies called "angular placenta attachment" that could be diagnosed during C-sections or after vaginal delivery without placental separation. Expectant management may be considered for adherent placentas in these cases.

Symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) is an uncommon but important clinical syndrome. We present a case of acute chorioamnionitis complicated with SPG.

A 33-year-old female (gravida 5, para 2) was admitted with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) at 20 weeks and four days of gestation. She received cervical cerclage four days ago. Seven days after the diagnosis of PPROM, she developed fever, tachypnea and tachycardia. Termination of pregnancy was decided for clinical diagnosis of sepsis. After the abortus was born, gangrene change on the nose was noticed. Afterwards, this patient developed acrocyanosis of extremities. SPG developed following sepsis with intravascular disseminated coagulation (DIC). After intensive care, the patient underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy and fasciectomy of the left forearm.

We suggest awareness of SPG associated with acute chorioamnionitis. Early recognition of SPG, multidisciplinary care, and treatment of its underlying conditions are the mainstays of management.

We present a rare case of well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) found incidentally in a 59-year-old woman with endometrial cancer.

A 59-year-old nulliparous obese woman with a past history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with postmenopausal bleeding for 11 months. Two months prior to this admission, an episode of massive vaginal bleeding lasting for a day was noticed by the patient. Hysteroscopy was performed after her visit to our outpatient department. Papillary tumors with active bleeding were found in the uterine cavity. Endometrial biopsy showed adenocarcinoma, endometrioid type characterized by papillary architecture lined by columnar cells with mild nuclear pleomorphism. The patient proceeded to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which demonstrated a 6.4×5.5×4.9cm intrauterine mass. Her tumor marker levels were elevated (CA 125 87.8 IU/ml, CA19-9160.54 IU/ml). The patient then underwent a staging surgery and final pathology revealed stage IA endometrial cancer. During surgery, multiple nodules were found in the peritoneum, initially considered as tumor metastasis and eventually proved to be WDPM.

In conclusion, the simultaneous occurrence of WDPM with endometrial cancer is a rare entity. Although no standardized treatment has been established, WDPMs have a relatively favorable prognosis compared to malignant mesotheliomas.

We characterized a maternally inherited small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) derived from chromosome 15 according to prenatal detection and made a review on the prenatal sSMC(15) cases with mosaic maternal inheritance.

A 29-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 19 weeks of gestation due to the high risk of Down syndrome in maternal serum screening. No abnormalities were observed in prenatal ultrasound findings. G-banding analysis revealed a karyotype of 47,XX,+mar. Subsequently, we recalled the couple back for chromosomal analysis. The father's karyotype was normal while the mother's karyotype was 47,XX,+mar[15]/46,XX[35]. Molecular genetic analysis was utilized to identify the marker chromosome. The chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) results of the mother showed there existed microduplications in the locus of 14q32.33, 15q21.1, 19p12 and Xq26.2, respectively. Then Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using specific probes for chromosomes 13/21, 14/22, and 15 was applied on the mother and the fetus.
