OBJECTIVE: To report a case of acute abdomen due to rupture of ovarian endometrial cysts, manifested as a first symptom of acute leukemia. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): A 28-year-old Japanese woman with acute abdomen. INTERVENTION(S): A diagnosis of rupture of endometrial cysts was made by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. A diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (FAB M5a subtype) was made by bone marrow aspiration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Remission-induction chemotherapy for leukemia was initiated. Meanwhile, endometrial cysts were managed expectantly. Once complete remission was achieved, laparoscopic surgery was attempted to remove ovarian cysts and abdominal fluid. RESULT(S): Patients tolerated laparoscopy with favorable postoperative course. Consolidation chemotherapy commenced without substantial delay. CONCLUSION(S): Accurate diagnosis, optimal timing of surgery, and minimally invasive surgery with laparoscopy enabled us to manage this high-risk case to a favorable outcome. |
