Primary Appendiceal Malignancy Mimicking Advanced Stage Ovarian Cancer

Primary appendiceal malignancy mimicking advanced stage ovarian cancer.

Primary appendiceal malignancies are rare and account for less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal tumors [1]. While these tumors are not very common, they have a tendency for ovarian spread when they disseminate beyond the appendix. Most of them are presented at the emergency room with nonspecific symptoms, such as acute abdominal pain and huge pelvic mass, mimicking advanced stage ovarian cance...

Appendiceal Carcinoma with Krukenberg's Tumour Mimicking Primary Ovarian Cancer.

Appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AACa) is a rare tumour which represents 0.5% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. The prognosis is poor, because it is usually found at an advanced stage, that in turn, is partly due to a low threshold of suspicion and difficulties in diagnosis prior to surgery. It may occasionally demonstrate ovarian metastases that are large and which dominate the clinical and rad...

Decidualized Ovarian Mass Mimicking Malignancy

Deciduosis classically occurs in the context of known endometriosis in the pelvis, most commonly in the ovaries, but also in the peritoneum. However, ovarian deciduosis outside the context of endometriosis is rare and makes diagnosis difficult, especially as the sonographic appearance suggests a malignant process. We report a case of decidualized ovarian mass in a patient without prior history ...

Familial Tuberculosis Mimicking Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Genital TB may present as on abdominopelvic mass mimicking ovarian malignancy because clinical and laboratory findings are similar. Family history is very important and should be considered for differential diagnosis. Three cases of genital TB with presentation of abdominopelvic masses and with no signs and symptoms of TB were presented. Two of them had positive family history of pulmonary TB. ...
