The prevalence of infertility has different based the studies conducted in various parts of Iran. Therefore, we carried out a systematic review to examine the prevalence of infertility in Iran. Methods: This study systematically reviewed the prevalence of infertility in Iran using keywords infertility, prevalence of infertility and Iran. In the initial search, 32 articles were available. After reviewing all full-texts, 13 articles were selected for analysis. Data were combined using meta-analysis (random effects model) and analyzed using STATA software version 11.1. Results: Of the 13 reviewed articles, 55658 people have been participated. Average of infertility was reported 13.2%. Overall prevalence of primary infertility and secondary infertility in Iran were respectively 5.2% and 3.2%. 2.2% of the participants in the studies had primary infertility at present. Conclusion: Despite the prevalence of infertility is different in various parts of Iran, the overall prevalence of infertility in Iran is close to the global statistic.

Introduction: Hirsutism is not a hair disorder, androgens stimulated hair growth. The aim of this study was determining the prevalence of hirsutism and the level of androgenic hormones in the blood and its association with polycystic ovary syndrome. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 3200 high school girls age 14 to 18 in Shiraz, Iran during 2009-2010. Modified Freeman-Galway was used to measure hirsutism scores. Transabdominal pelvic ultrasound was performed in patients with hirsutism and other symptoms of hyper androgenic (acne, and alopecia) and androgenic hormones were evaluated. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 11.5, Chi-square and Fisher tests. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of the severity f hirsutism was estimated in 100 patients (3.2 %). Mean of testosterone levels was higher in hirsutism group, but no significant correlation was seen regarding mean of total testosterone, free testosterone and polycystic ovary syndrome between patients with hirsutism and without hirsutism (p>0.001). But the correlation between menstrual irregularity and hirsutism is statistically significant (p<0.001) Conclusion: Incidenceof hirsutism and levels of androgen hormone has not statistical significant association with polycystic ovary syndrome. Similar researches with larger sample size in women aged 20 to 25 who have normal menstrual cycle is recommended.

Introduction: Since renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive tumor with unpredictable behavior, 30-50% of patients have metastatic lesions at the time of tumor diagnosis. The most common sites of cancer metastasis includes bones, lungs, liver and brain; however metastasis to the cervix rarely occurs and only few cases have been reported worldwide. Case report: A 57 years old woman referred with nonspecific abdominal pain from 10 month later, without weight loss and vaginal bleeding. After CT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis, a mass in the superior part of the left kidney was seen and nephrectomy was performed. Pathology reports the third stage of renal cell carcinoma extending to the renal capsule, but the capsule was not ruptured and had no lymph node involvement. After the surgery, patient's pain was relief and considering completing removal of the tumor, no complementary therapies were done. One year follow up of surgery, the patient underwent hysterectomy operation due to a uterine mass in diagnostic CT scan of abdominopelvic and pathological examination confirmed a renal cell carcinoma metastasis to cervix. Conclusion: This report emphasized the probability of RCC metastasis to the cervix, despite its rarity.
