AbstractHydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormEchinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

A 26-year-old woman presented with acute onset of right-sided pelvic pain and had a medical history significant for migraine headaches and polycystic ovarian disease. Ultrasonography demonstrated bilateral ovarian tumors, and the patient underwent laparoscopic removal of bilateral cystic teratomas. A literature review focused on similar presentations of teratomas revealed isolated cases of migr...

The incidence of primary hydatid cyst of peritoneum is 2%. It can present as a palpable abdominal lump. The differential diagnosis is cystic ovarian tumor clinically and radiologically. Peritoneal hydatid disease should be included in differential diagnosis of sonographically diagnosed pelvic cystic lesion.

PURPOSE MR assessments of ovarian cystic lesions are usually based on morphological features, signal intensities and enhancement with contrast media. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the steady-state free precession (SSFP) diffusion imaging of cystic ovarian lesions for analyzing cystic contents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one ovarian cystic lesions in 37 patients were ...

Primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. One of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. We here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred du...

the aim of this study was to determine the prognosis and survival for patients with borderlineovarian tumor (bot). a retrospective review of 30 patients with serous andmucinous bot treated at or referred to our institution was performed. fifteenpatients (50%) had serous, and the others had mucinous bot. about 86% of allpatients in both groups were in stage i of the disease. the recurrent diseas...

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by targeting the 3'-untranslated region of multiple target genes. Pathogenesis results from defects in several gene sets; therefore, disease progression could be prevented using miRNAs targeting multiple genes. Moreover, recent studies suggest that miRNAs reflect the stage of the specific disease, such as carcinogenesis....

Solid mural nodule within a mucinous cystic ovarian tumor occurs more often than generally presumed. One especially interesting case involving coincidental cervical carcinoma is presented. A 38-year-old woman underwent exploratory laparotomy for a right ovarian tumor. After ovarian malignancy had been diagnosed from frozen section, the bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy was perfor...
