Pelvic tumors in adolescent females are very uncommon. While the most common presentation is pelvic discomfort, we report the case of a 14-year-old female presenting with menorrhagia which is an unusual initial complaint for a large pelvic tumor. Adolescent females who present with heavy menstrual bleeding initially undergo assessment to rule out a bleeding disorder. In this case, careful history and physical examination helped in making a quick diagnosis and management. Ultrasound of abdomen showed a huge cystic mass due to serous cystadenoma of the ovary.
青少年女性盆腔肿瘤非常罕见。虽然最常见的表现是盆腔不适,但我们报告了一例14岁女性,其最初的主诉是月经过多,这对于一个大的盆腔肿瘤来说是不寻常的首发症状。最初表现为月经过多的青少年女性首先要接受评估以排除出血性疾病。在这个病例中,详细的病史和体格检查有助于快速做出诊断和进行治疗。腹部超声显示为卵巢浆液性囊腺瘤导致的巨大囊性肿块。
