Abstract:
We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have a malignant Brenner tumor (MBT) of the ovary during an evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The patient presented with swelling in her left leg, non-healing ulcers, weakness, and numbness in her lower limbs. Imaging studies revealed a large multiloculated cystic mass with areas of calcification in the left adnexa extending to the upper abdomen toward the gallbladder fossa. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with removal of the ovarian cyst, later diagnosed as a focal MBT in a background of borderline Brenner tumor. Brenner tumors of the ovary are a rare subtype of ovarian neoplasm that accounts for less than 2% of all ovarian tumors. MBTs are even rarer, comprising less than 5% of all Brenner tumors. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an MBT incidentally found in a patient with DVT.
摘要:
我们介绍了一名73岁女性的病例,该女性在评估深静脉血栓形成(DVT)时偶然发现患有卵巢恶性布伦纳肿瘤(MBT)。病人左腿肿胀,不愈合的溃疡,弱点,下肢麻木.影像学检查显示,一个大的多部位囊性肿块,左附件钙化区域延伸到上腹部,朝向胆囊窝。患者行剖腹探查术,切除卵巢囊肿,后来在边缘Brenner肿瘤的背景下被诊断为局灶性MBT。卵巢Brenner肿瘤是一种罕见的卵巢肿瘤亚型,占所有卵巢肿瘤的不到2%。MBT更罕见,占所有布伦纳肿瘤的不到5%。据我们所知,这是在DVT患者中偶然发现的第一例MBT病例.
