RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Oral sex is postulated to be a risk factor for the introduction of bacteria into the amniotic cavity. Common oropharyngeal bacteria have been implicated in reports of second trimester chorioamnionitis via ascending vaginal transmission following oral sex. Dental scaling can also introduce these pathogens into the blood stream, allowing hematogenous spread of oral pathogens to the fetoplacental unit in pregnant patients. CASE: We report a case of Streptococcus mitis chorioamnionitis at 21 weeks and 5 days' gestation in a patient whose only risk factors were recent dental scaling and recent oral sex with a partner known to have periodontal disease. CONCLUSION: Bacterial chorioamnionitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of preterm labour. Oral sex and dental procedures may be risk factors for chorioamnionitis.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the finding of hypercalcemia in pediatric ovarian dysgerminoma. METHODS: Two cases of pediatric ovarian dysgerminoma that presented with hypercalcemia are discussed. RESULTS: Hypercalcemia is a rare finding in ovarian dysgerminoma. CONCLUSION: Ovarian dysgerminoma should be considered in pediatric patients presenting with signs of hypercalcemia. Parathyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone related protein, and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D may elucidate the cause of hypercalcemia.

â¢Ovarian cancer can present as paraneoplastic myositis.â¢Presented with progressive weakness unresponsive to treatment with glucocorticoidsâ¢Imaging revealed bilateral ovarian masses, myositis resolved after surgery.â¢Ovarian cancer should be included on the differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with myositis.
