cystadenoma/edema

BACKGROUND Massive ovarian edema is an usual tumour-like condition. It may be confused with an ovarian neoplasm. METHODS A 13-year-old female in premenarchy was referred as emergency case to a local hospital due to acute, severe and persistent hypogastric pain. She had noticed a gradual abdominal

Massive ovarian edema is a rare entity that can be confused with an ovarian neoplasm. A few ovarian lesions have been reported that are associated with massive ovarian edema. This article describes the first case of an ovarian serous cystadenoma associated with a massive ovarian edema. The patient

Mural nodules associated with mucinous and serous tumors of the ovary may represent a reactive process, a benign tumor, or a malignant neoplasm. Mural leiomyomatous nodule in mucinous cystadenoma is extremely rare. Two such cases had been described previously. In this case a 43-year-old white female

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystadenomas of the ovary are known for their potential to grow to massive proportions and are often incidentally diagnosed. They are typically benign tumors accounting for 15% of ovarian neoplasms and up to 80% of all mucinous tumors. METHODS We report a 50-year-old, morbidly

BACKGROUND Ovarian pathology, including nonfunctional tumors and massive edema of the ovary, has been associated with stromal luteinization and clinical endocrinopathies. METHODS An adolescent girl presented with primary amenorrhea, clitoromegaly, and large abdominopelvic mass. Laboratory evaluation

We report a patient with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and edema of the small intestine all of which disappeared after resection of an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy. Preoperatively, the serum gastrin level was high and it decreased to normal afterwards; subsequent

A cystic lesion in the body of the pancreas was detected during staging workup of a 59-year-old woman with T-cell lymphoma of the tongue. After six cycles of chemotherapy the pancreatic lesion was unchanged. Suggestive ulceration of the vulva with edema appeared at the end of chemotherapy. After

Choledochal cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies of the biliary tree, commonly presenting in infancy, generally in the 1(st) year of life. Presentation in adult life is less common, accounting for 20% of cases. A 19-year-old female patient presented to the Emergency Department with severe

BACKGROUND To determine if asymmetric ovarian edema on non-contrast MRI can be used to distinguish torsed from non-torsed stimulated ovaries in pregnant women. METHODS In this retrospective study, our radiology database was searched for women who were pregnant and who had undergone ovarian

A 99-year-old woman was admitted to Shizuoka Shimizu Municipal Hospital because of fever and anasarca. Imaging and laboratory tests showed pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and cardiac failure. The patient died 20 days after admission. An autopsy revealed marked diffuse dilations of the biliary

Bilateral ovarian enlargement may reflect benign or malignant processes of the ovary. Benign causes of ovarian enlargement include luteomas, tumors such as mature cystic teratomas, fibrothecomas, cystadenomas and rare conditions including capillary hemangioma and massive edema of the ovaries.

Twenty-five patients were identified with non-pituitary, nonadrenal ACTH-secreting tumors (bronchial carcinoid, bronchial small cell carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, thymic carcinoids, metastatic adenocarcinoma, and pancreatic cystadenoma). Clinical features

Giant ovarian cysts (more than 12 kilogram) are now rarely seen because of the development in health care systems and education. We report a patient with an ovarian cyst weighing 64 kilogram, marked distended abdomen, tachypnea and dyspnea, pitting edema of both legs and inability to walk. The

In this pictorial essay the common and uncommon causes of large cystic and cyst-like abdominal masses in children are reviewed. We discuss and illustrate the following: mesenchymal hamartoma, choledochal cyst, hydrops of the gallbladder, congenital splenic cyst, pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic
