Ovarian cysts are an extremely common gynecological problem in adolescent. Majority of ovarian cysts are benign with few cases being malignant. Ovarian serous cystadenoma are rare in children. A 14-year-old presented with abdominal pain and severe abdominal distention. She underwent laparotomy and after surgical removal, the mass was found to be ovarian serous cystadenoma on histology. In concl...

background: carcinoma of the fallopian tube is extremely uncommon neoplasm, accounting for only 0.3% of gynecologic cancers. case: a 17-year-old female patient presented with clinical symptoms of right side deep pelvic pain. ultrasound examination reveals right adenxal mass with breakdown suggesting neoplastic lesion or tubo-ovarian abscess. she was diagnosed clinically as tubo-ovarian mass for...

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Incidence of ovarian cancer is more common in postmenopausal women. Premenopausal onset is rare and the present study described two cases of ovarian clear cell tumors in young women. CASE PRESENTATION The patients presented with pelvic mass which was confirmed by sonography and laparotomy and final diagnosis was mad...

Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare malignancy of the ovary. This is a case report of a 30-year-old female, presenting with a huge ovarian mass along with multiple gallstones; she was treated by fertility-sparing excision of the mass and cholecystectomy, followed by chemotherapy. She later had an uneventful pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby.

Ovarian cancer remains still associated with poor prognosis because it is diagnosed predominantly at advanced stages. Ovarian-specific tumor markers do not yet exist for early detection of the disease. At the search of diagnostic markers for ovarian cancer, proteomic-based approaches have focused on novel investigations of neoplastic processes in tumor patients. Cystic fluids of malignant and b...

carney’s complex is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome that involves spotty skin pigmentations, recurrent cardiac myxomas, endocrine hyperactivity, pituitary adenomas, peripheral nerve tumors, testicular tumors, and ovarian lesions. we present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 40 year old female with a history of carney’s complex with recurrent cardiac...

Background: Only about half the studies that have collected information on the relevance of women’s height and body mass index to their risk of developing ovarian cancer have published their results, and findings are inconsistent. Here, we bring together the worldwide evidence, published and unpublished, and describe these relationships. Methods and Findings: Individual data on 25,157 women wit...

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...
