Background:Diagnosis of ovarian mass during pregnancy may be postponed because they may mimic physiological signs of pregnancy. Ovarian masses can lead to complications such as overgrowth, torsion or cyst rupture. Therefore, to inform health providers concerning symptoms, safe diagnostic methods and proper management seem appropriate. Case report: A 19-year-old primigravida was presented to our...

Torsion of uterine adnexa is an important cause of acute abdominal pain in females. The main organ which can cause torsion is the ovaries, but torsions of the fallopian tube, subserosal myoma, paratubal cyst, and even the uterine body have been reported. The incidence of isolated fallopian tubal torsion is very rare. Even more rarely, it can coil around nearby organs such as the utero-ovarian l...

387 are malignant.[2] The large ovarian cyst can undergo torsion at any time leading to acute abdominal pain and necrosis of the ovary. Patients are also at risk of developing sepsis due to torsion. Massive ovarian cyst hemorrhage can occur in anticoagulated patients, including those on hemodialysis, who receive heparin anticoagulation.[3] Such cyst may rupture accidentally during continuous am...

Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is a rare congenital anomaly, characterized by herniation through a defect in the anterior aspect of the sacrum. We reported a case of ASM associated with neurofibromatosis, which was mimicking a complex ovarian cyst in ultrasonography. ASM can easily be misdiagnosed as an ovarian cyst and needle aspiration can cause intracranial hypotension syndrome or even de...

background: functional ovarian cysts (foc) are one of the most common gynecological problems among women of reproductive age. some studies have shown that diet may affect the function of the ovaries, so this study was performed to determine the association between the amount of dietary fat and functional ovarian cysts. methods: this case-control study was performed on 264 female patients (132 w...

Nowadays, giant ovarian mucinous cystadenomas are a rare condition, due to early diagnose and treatment. We report the case of a 44-year-old patient, who was diagnosed and admitted in our department with a giant pelvi-abdominal mass. The patient was operated with very high-risk consent, thus an enormous ovarian cyst of approximately 30 kg was extirpated. Afterwards, an extensive histopathologic...

Increased inclusion cyst formation in the ovary is associated with ovarian cancer development. We employed in vitro three-dimensional (3D) organotypic models formed by normal human ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells and ovarian cancer cells to study the morphologies of normal and cancerous ovarian cortical inclusion cysts and the molecular changes during their transitions into stromal micro...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The application of laparoscopic techniques in the surgical management of neonatal ovarian cysts is proving valuable both as a diagnostic tool and a potential therapeutic intervention. We report the successful management of a prenatally diagnosed ovarian cyst in a newborn female and provide operative evidence for the presumptive etiology of the cyst. METHODS AND RESUL...

The objective was to introduce a new system for transvaginal removal of ovarian cyst and to evaluate its feasibility. With a new transvaginal system, ultrasound-assisted culdotomy, and laparoscopy supported cystectomy if vaginal procedure failed. The authors conducted a retrospective review in which 35 cases using new vaginal ovarian cystectomy were compared with 40 cases of laparoscopic cystec...

We have previously reported the usefulness of a needle laparoscopic surgery system that involves insertion port through Douglas' pouch and use an EndoPouch to facilitate cystectomy without leakage ovarian cyst contents.
