  Investigations [ 4, 14 ] In primary care Refer urgently any woman with ascites and/or a pelvic or abdominal mass not obviously fibroids. [patient.info]

  A pelvic examination may reveal an ovarian or abdominal mass. A CA-125 blood test is not considered a good screening test for ovarian cancer. [nlm.nih.gov]

• Hirsutism

  In addition, the patient also presented with hirsutism, which might result from hyperandrogenemia rather than hypercortisolemia. Routine screening for Cushing syndrome in women presented with hirsutism is a controversial issue. [bmcendocrdisord.biomedcentral.com]

  · Fallopian Tube Masses · Evaluation of an Adnexal Mass · Military Significance Introduction Adnexal masses may be encountered during a routine examination of an asymptomatic patient. [brooksidepress.org]

  Now that we’ve equipped you with an understanding of the morphologic building blocks of adnexal masses, and how those masses are assessed using ultrasonography (US) (described in Part 2 of this four-part series), you can apply your skills of discernment [mdedge.com]

  Based on our review, the Risk of Malignancy Index should be the prediction model of choice in the preoperative assessment of the adnexal mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pelvic Pain

  A woman with abdominal or pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, and positive pregnancy test may have an ectopic pregnancy. [aafp.org]

  Symptoms of ovarian cysts, masses or tumors may include: Pelvic pain Nausea or vomiting Pain shortly before or after the start of your period Pressure, swelling or pain in the abdomen A dull ache in the lower back and thighs Difficulty emptying your bladder [cancercenter.com]

  She also had lower pelvic pain, but nothing extreme. “It was more of a niggle,” Sandra says. “I didn’t realise it was a symptom.” [health.qld.gov.au]

  Approximately 90% of women with pain associated with endometriosis will experience relief of their chronic pelvic pain. After definitive surgery, consider adjuvant therapy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  They found that the combination of abdominal pain, pelvic pain, bloating, constipation and increased abdominal size were significantly more severe in women with ovarian cancer. [livescience.com]

  Patients with dyspareunia and pain worsening with menses may have an endometrioma. Dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia may indicate a leiomyoma rather than an ovarian mass. [aafp.org]

  Dyspareunia. Swollen abdomen, with palpable mass arising out of the pelvis, which is dull to percussion and does not disappear if the bladder is emptied. [patient.info]

  The commonly reported symptoms of TOAs are dyspareunia and rectal discomfort, partial intestinal obstruction, dysuria, urinary frequency, and sterility. Occasionally, fever with the symptoms of pelvic peritonitis develops. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Patient underwent a diagnostic workup for an ovarian neoplasm, but was found at surgery to have mesentric fibromatosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CT scanning (MRI rarely used for this purpose) Ca-125 measurement (if required equipment) CBC differential: if anemic, thorough workup should be completed for a gastrointestinal pathology. Creatinine Laparotomy and biopsy. [en.wikibooks.org]

A 17 Serum CA 125 levels should not be routinely used during the diagnostic workup of an adnexal mass in a premenopausal patient. B 20 Serum CA 125 levels should be drawn in postmenopausal patients with adnexal masses to guide treatment options. [aafp.org]

Routine laboratory workup revealed the following: leukocytosis (11.2   10 9 /L) with neutrophilia (76.6%), hypokalemia (3.3 mmol/L) and elevated fasting glucose (6.4 mmol/L). Hormonal assays were not conducted. [bmcendocrdisord.biomedcentral.com]

• Ovarian Mass

  We describe the case of a 50-year-old woman who presented with a complex right ovarian mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The presence of ascites and ovarian masses is strongly associated with ovarian cancer. Other features of malignancy include solid ovarian masses, bilaterality, and lymphadenopathy. [/HIDE] -- [medicalgeek.com]

There was a 7% increase in survival for paclitaxel-based treatment (2-year increase from 50% to 57%; P 0.02) and a 10% increase in progression-free survival (1-year increase from 40% to 50% in favor of paclitaxel-based treatment; P 0.0004). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The utility of genetic testing of this tumor and additional reporting of alterations detected is needed to verify pathogenicity of variants detected, as well as their potential roles with prognosis, behavior, and therapeutic targets. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

So estimation of Estrogen and Progesterone receptor status may help to select the women with ovarian malignancy for hormonal therapy, which is more likely to improve the response rate as well as prognosis. [scopemed.org]

The prognosis for early stage cancer of the ovary is generally good, the earlier the better. Unfortunately, not many Stage IA ovarian cancers are detected and treated. [brooksidepress.org]

Possible etiologies of the present case are discussed and additional literature investigated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although the etiology of ovarian cancer is not clear, certain factors are implicated in the etiology of this disease, such as ovulation, gonadotropic and steroid hormones, germ cell depletion, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, growth factors, cytokines [doi.org]

Etiology and Risk Factors [ edit ] Possible etiologies of the adenexal mass: Gastrointestinal tract: bowel cancer, constipation, bowel abscess Urinary tract: full bladder Obstetrical/Gynecological: pregnancy, hydrosalpinx, tubal cancer, fibroids, ovarian [en.wikibooks.org]

Physical Examination A complete physical examination concentrating on signs of infection or neoplasm is necessary to determine the etiology of a pelvic mass. [aafp.org]
