Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Massive ovarian edema is an unusual cause of ovarian enlargement in young patients. Venous end lymphatic obstruction producing edema is thought to be the reason for enlargement of the ovaries in most cases. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman with unilateral massive ovarian edema, findings on ultrasound imaging, and a review of the literature. The ultrasound findings have been reported as a solid tumour-like mass or as a solid mass containing a cystic component, which is non-specific and can mimic neoplasia. Thus, the definitive diagnosis requires histological examination. Because conservative treatment with preservation of the ovaries is often possible, ovarian edema is an important condition to consider in a young patient with a complex but non-specific ovarian mass and appropriate preoperative clinical treatment should be started. |
