Abstract
Introduction: The vesico-allantoic cyst is a communication between the fetal bladder and the allantois through a patent urachus.Case Report: We describe a 17-week of gestational age (WGA) fetus with a 40 x 30 mm vesico-allantoic cyst. At 19 WGA, ultrasound (US) detected bilateral dilatation of renal pelvis (5-6 mm), hydroureters, and hypospadias. Amniotic fluid, umbilical cord flow, and fetal biometry were regular. Due to uncertain prognosis, the parents opted for legal termination of pregnancy. Autopsy confirmed the prenatal findings, also revealing intestinal malrotation and Meckel's diverticulum.Discussion/Conclusion: Probably an initial urinary tract obstruction occurred, not yet affecting the amniotic fluid volume, but evident as pyelectasis. This case highlights the possibility that genito-urinary and intestinal anomalies may be found in association with the vesico-allantoic cyst.

Abstract
Introduction: Fusobacterium nucleatum is a gram-negative anaerobe, a constituent of the oral microflora, responsible for chronic periodontal diseases. Case Report: We describe a preterm infant with premature rupture of membranes at 23 weeks of gestational age due to F. nucleatum. The newborn died soon after birth. Placental histopathology showed severe necrotizing chorioamnionitis and funisitis with gram-negative bacilli. After autopsy, F. nucleatum was microbiologically isolated from the lung. The mother had dental hygiene 1 day before delivery, presenting mild and diffuse gingivitis. At admission, she had leukocytosis, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, but no fever. Conclusion: This case highlights the possibility of F. nucleatum spreading from oral cavity after a dental procedure to the placenta with chorioamnionitis and fetal infection. This raises the question of whether dental procedures during pregnancy should be accompanied by prophylactic antibiotics.

Abstract
According to our systematic literature review (PRISMA guidelines), only 37 vulvar squamous cell carcinomas (VSCCs) were diagnosed during pregnancy (age range: 17-41 years). The tumor size range was 0.3-15 cm. The treatment was performed after (14/37, 38%), before (10/37, 27%), or before-and-after delivery (11/37, 30%). We found that 21/37 (57%) cases were stage I, 2 II (5%), 11 III (30%), and 3 IVB (8%). HPV-related features (condylomas/warts; HPV infection; high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion) were reported in 11/37 (30%) cases. We also found that 9/37 (24%) patients had inflammatory conditions (lichen sclerosus/planus, psoriasis, chronic dermatitis). The time-to-recurrence/progression (12/37, 32%) ranged from 0 to 36 (mean 9) months. Eight women died of disease (22%) 2.5-48 months after diagnosis, 2 (5%) were alive with disease, and 23 (62%) were disease-free at the end of follow-up. Pregnant patients must be followed-up. Even if they are small, newly arising vulvar lesions should be biopsied, especially in women with risk factors (HPV, dermatosis, etc.). The treatment of VSCCs diagnosed in late third trimester might be delayed until postpartum. Elective cesarean section may prevent vulvar wound dehiscence. In the few reported cases, pregnancy/fetal outcomes seemed to not be affected by invasive treatments during pregnancy. However, clinicians must be careful; larger cohorts should define the best treatment. Definite guidelines are lacking, so a multidisciplinary approach and discussion with patients are mandatory.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, responsible for hospital and community acquired pneumonia, urinary tract and wound infections, and bloodstream dissemination. K. pneumoniae infection in pregnancy, leading to acute chorioamnionitis (AC), preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and early pregnancy loss in the second trimester, has been rarely reported. Herein, we present a case of K. pneumoniae AC that caused intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) at 19 weeks + 5 days. The 36-year-old mother was admitted at 18 weeks + 1 day of gestation for threatened abortion. IUFD occurred 11 days after. Fetal postmortem showed severe AC and funisitis, neutrophils within alveoli and intestinal lumen, associated with rod-like bacteria. Fetal blood and lung cultures grew K. pneumoniae, β-lactamase-non-producing strain. Antibiogram revealed sensitivity for piperacillin/tazobactam. Three days after IUFD, the mother presented with fever (37.8 °C) which persisted for one week. Maternal blood and urine cultures were negative. According to fetal microbiological results, available 6 days after IUFD, initial treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was replaced with piperacillin/tazobactam with full patient recovery. Therefore, in the event of PPROM and IUFD, fetal microbiological investigations should always be performed to isolate the proper etiologic agent and start the correct medical treatment.

Abstract
Higher-grade meningiomas (WHO grade II and III) represent a diagnostic and prognostic challenge. We assessed the pathological and molecular characteristics of 94 higher-grade meningiomas (85 grade II, 9 grade III) to identify novel prognostic parameters. Higher mitotic count (p = 0.018), diffuse (≥50%) prominent nucleoli (p < 0.001), and sheeting (p < 0.001) were associated with recurrence. Lower SSTR2a-positive cells median rate (p = 0.048) and TERT promoter mutations (p = 0.014) were associated with recurrence and patient death, respectively; further analyses did not identify other outcome associations. Presence of Ki67 hot spots was associated with a shorter progression-free survival (PFS), independently of WHO grade at multivariate analysis (HR = 3.35, p = 0.008). Necrosis was related to a poorer overall survival (OS) at univariate (focal: HR = 4.55, p = 0.041 and diffuse: HR = 7.38, p = 0.020) and Kaplan-Meier analyses. A prognostic score was designed based on previous results: Presence of diffuse (≥50%) prominent nucleoli (0/1 point), diffuse (≥50%) sheeting (0/1 point), focal (<50%) or diffuse (≥50%) necrosis (0/1/2 points), and Ki67 hot spots (0/1 point). A total score ≥4 predicted poorer PFS and OS by Kaplan-Meier (PFS: 1.7 vs 6.4 years, p < 0.001 and OS: 5.2 vs 10.8 years, p = 0.001) and multivariate (PFS: HR = 5.98, p < 0.001 and OS: HR = 2.99, p = 0.048) analyses. These results were confirmed in an independent series of 58 grade II meningiomas (PFS: HR = 7.22, p = 0.002 and OS: HR = 9.69, p = 0.003). These associations and the integrated score could complement WHO grading.
