cystadenoma/obesity

BACKGROUND Ectopic ovarian tissue is an unusual entity, especially if it is an isolated finding thought to be of embryological origin. METHODS An 11-year-old, morbidly obese female presented with left flank pain, nausea, and irregular menses. Various diagnostic procedures suggested a large ovarian

A 13-year-old, obese girl presented with acute abdominal pain with abdominal distension for a year. The physical examination revealed marked abdominal distension with a large well-circumscribed mass sized 13×20 cm. Her body mass index (BMI) was 37.8 kg/m2. An abdominal CT scan revealed a huge

BACKGROUND No case of single-incision laparoscopic surgery in obese patients who had previously undergone multiple midline vertical laparotomies has been described in the literature to date. Hence we report the first case of single-port laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy in an obese patient who was

Background: Synchronous cystic lesions of the pancreas with different pathophysiology in the same patient are a rare occurrence.. Case Presentation: We report the incidental finding of a multicystic lesion within the pancreatic head in a morbidly obese woman during workup for bariatric

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystadenomas of the ovary are known for their potential to grow to massive proportions and are often incidentally diagnosed. They are typically benign tumors accounting for 15% of ovarian neoplasms and up to 80% of all mucinous tumors. METHODS We report a 50-year-old, morbidly

Benign, mucinous cystadenomas account for 15 per cent of all ovarian neoplasms. Of these, the giant variant occurs rarely. A morbidly obese, 52-year-old, white woman was seen for acute abdominal pain and diagnosed using computerized tomography as having a giant, benign, mucinous cystadenoma. At

Cystadenoma of the pancreas is a rare tumor. In the surgery unit of the Hospital de la "Santa Cruz y San Pablo", of 18 cases of cephalic duodeno-pancreatectomy in the last nine years, we have only observed one case of cystadenoma. The patient was a 70 year-old woman, hypertensive and very obese, who

A 178-kg, 14-yr-old captive female American black bear (Ursus americanus) was examined because of lethargy, inappetance, obesity, and alopecia. Serum chemistry and complete blood count values were within normal limits. Based on serum levels for total thyroxine (T4), free T4 by equilibrium dialysis

A 53-year-old woman was wheelchair-dependent and unable to work due to an extreme increase in abdominal circumference. Closer investigation revealed an ovarian tumour. A mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary weighing more than 20 kg was removed with laparotomy. A 63-year-old woman presented with

Giant ovarian tumors are rare, but comprise both a clinical as well as a surgical challenge. During the past two decades only 20 cases of ovarian tumors weighing 20 kg or more have been reported. We present a new case, where a giant benign ovarian cystadenoma weighing 28 kg, masked by obesity, was

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a modified technique for laparoscopic extracorporal oophorectomy is less complicated and safer than traditional laparoscopic oophorectomy. METHODS Four obese patients in their second trimester underwent open laparoscopy for treatment of large ovarian cysts. A Cook

BACKGROUND Ectopic adrenal tissue is a very rare entity in adult females, especially in the ovary, and is generally diagnosed incidentally during surgery. Although it can present at various sites during childhood, it becomes atrophic by adulthood due to normally functioning adrenal glands. Patients

The case of an obese 12-year-old girl with a huge and mobile pelvic cystic mass is presented. After ultrasonography and determination of tumor markers, a right huge benign adnexal mass was suspected. In order to avoid exploratory laparotomy because severe pain and a large operative scar were

To report surgical and pathologic outcomes after single-port laparoscopy (SPL) for adnexal masses in patients referred to a gynecologic oncology practice at a single academic institution. A retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force Classification II.2). A single academic institution with multiple

Background: Paraovarian/paratubal cysts constitute about 10% of adnexal masses and are usually small and asymptomatic. A huge paratubal cyst complicated by adnexal torsion is a rare cause of acute low abdominal pain.
