Cellular fibroma of the ovary is an uncommon benign tumor. When associated with Meigs' syndrome, it can produce a clinical picture similar to that of ovarian carcinoma.
A 73-year-old nulligravida was admitted to the hospital with progressive cachexia, ascites, a right pleural effusion and a 15-cm pelvic mass. The serum CA-125 level was 1,780. Due to a high suspicion of ovarian carcinoma, the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy/bilateral salpingooophorectomy and surgical staging for a frozen section diagnosis of sarcoma. Permanent histology revealed the tumor to be a cellular fibroma, and the CA-125 levels fell to normal postoperatively.
Since benign ovarian tumors may mimic carcinoma, laparotomy and appropriate surgical staging are essential for the final diagnosis.
卵巢细胞性纤维瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤。当与梅格斯综合征相关时,它可产生与卵巢癌相似的临床表现。
一名73岁未孕女性因进行性恶病质、腹水、右侧胸腔积液及一个15厘米的盆腔肿块入院。血清CA - 125水平为1780。由于高度怀疑卵巢癌,患者接受了剖腹探查、全腹子宫切除术/双侧输卵管卵巢切除术及手术分期,以进行肉瘤的冰冻切片诊断。永久组织学检查显示肿瘤为细胞性纤维瘤,术后CA - 125水平降至正常。
由于良性卵巢肿瘤可能酷似癌,剖腹探查及适当的手术分期对最终诊断至关重要。
