Two cases of massive ovarian edema are reported in addition to the eight previous cases published in the English literature. The predominance of the right-sided involvement and the histopathological characteristics of this lesion support the hypothesis that the basic pathogenetic mechanism is an impairment of the venous and lymphatic drainage of the ovary, triggered by recurrent partial torsion of the mesovarium. This nonneoplastic lesion should be recognized as a distinct entity in ovarian disease and treated conservatively.
除了英文文献中之前报道的8例病例外，本文还报告了2例巨大卵巢水肿病例。右侧受累为主以及该病变的组织病理学特征支持这样一种假说，即基本发病机制是卵巢系膜反复部分扭转引发的卵巢静脉和淋巴引流受损。这种非肿瘤性病变应被视为卵巢疾病中的一种独特实体，并采取保守治疗。
