Publication Broad Ligament Leiomyomata - An Important Differential Diagnosis in Huge Abdominal Mass: A Case Report(Nepal Medical Association, 2025) Basnyat, Amogh; Dangal, Ganesh; Karki, Aruna; Pradhan, Hema; Shrestha, Ranjana; Bhattachan, KabinAbstract Leiomyomas are a common gynaecological condition affecting 20-30% of women over the age of 35, with prevalence decreasing following menopause. Leiomyomas are most commonly found within the uterus. Rarer extra-uterine locations include the broad ligament, cervix, and vagina. We present an unusual case of multiple Left Broad Ligament Leiomyomata that extended from Left Iliac Fossa and Hypogastrium to Epigastric region in a 50- year-old female. Our case highlights the importance for extra-uterine leiomyoma to be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with huge abdominal mass suspicious of adnexal tumor or malignancy.Publication Vaginoplasty with Amnion Graft: Management of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome(Nepal Health Research Council, 2023) Bhandari, Srijana; Dangal, Ganesh; Karki, Aruna; Pradhan, Hema; Shrestha, Ranjana; Bhattachan, Kabin; Tiwari, Kenusha Devi; Bharati, Sonu; Maharjan, SunitaAbstract Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome also known as mullerian agenesis is a rare congenital condition in which there is absence of uterus along with upper vagina. Patient usually presents with primary amenorrhea with or without cyclical lower abdominal pain but have normal secondary sexual characters.

A 23 year old girl with normal secondary sexual characters presented with primary amenorrhea with cyclical lower abdominal pain; on examination blind vagina was present. Vaginoplasty with amnion graft was done and vaginal mould was placed. Vaginal dilatation with Hegar’s dilator was done weekly until 6 weeks.
