A healthy 38-year-old woman presented with a hard umbilical mass that has been growing for a few months in duration with no other significant symptoms and signs. Computed tomography images identified a lobulated densely calcified umbilical mass, left ovarian cysts, a subcentimeter calcified omental nodule, and nonspecific punctate pelvic calcifications. Histopathology of the mass revealed low-grade serous carcinoma with postsurgical diagnosis of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IV ovarian cancer. This case presentation emphasizes the importance of increased awareness of interpreting radiologists of a seemingly benign appearing imaging finding such as umbilical calcification on CT as a sign of intra-abdominal/pelvic malignancies.
一名38岁健康女性,脐部出现一硬性肿块,持续生长数月,无其他明显症状和体征。计算机断层扫描图像显示一个分叶状的致密钙化脐部肿块、左侧卵巢囊肿、一个小于1厘米的钙化网膜结节以及非特异性点状盆腔钙化。肿块的组织病理学检查显示为低级别浆液性癌,术后诊断为国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)IV期卵巢癌。该病例报告强调了放射科医生提高对看似良性的影像学表现(如CT上的脐部钙化)作为腹盆腔恶性肿瘤征象的解读意识的重要性。
