currently, laparoscopic cystectomy is the first-line therapy for ovarian benign cysts that are resistant to current therapies. there are different studies that point to ovarian reserve damage due to laparoscopic cystectomy. in this study, we evaluate the ovarian damage following laparoscopic cystectomy for non-endometriosis cysts using ultrasound and pathology findings. this is a prospective co...

Large solid ovarian lesions are considered malignant in nature in pediatric and adolescent age group. We present an adolescent girl who had large solid ovarian lesion, with negative tumor markers. She underwent laparotomy and right oopherectomy. Histopathology revealed that the lesion was massive ovarian edema. This is an extremely rare lesion of ovary and is benign in nature. Very few case rep...

The diagnosis of extra-renal Wilms' tumor is often missed at initial clinical presentation leading to a delay in initiating appropriate therapy. A 5-year-old girl presented with a 3-week history of a painless lump in the pelvis. Radiological investigations suggested an ovarian neoplasm. Tumor markers for ovarian malignancy were in normal range. Trucut biopsy also suggested the possibility of an...

We report a rare case of stage III bilateral ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma in a teenage girl with omental deposit presenting initially only with complaints of low back pain o few weeks. USG, contrast CT and high serum CA 125 suggested an ovarian neoplasm and subsequently treated by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and omentectomy. Histopathology together wit...
