A rare case presentation of large mucinous ovarian cystadenocarcinoma in a young female

Here authors report a case of large ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in a young female complicating young pregnancy. Ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare ovarian tumour that arises from the surface epithelium of the ovary. A 25-year young female, 9 days post-partum presented to the hospital with complain of abdominal distension. USG finding suggesting large solid cystic mass 36 × 14 cm arising from pelvis extending up to epigastrium. MRI pelvis evident of heterogenous hyperintense solid cystic mass lesion giving bunch of grapes appearance with size 24.5 × 25 × 11.5 cms seen in intra peritoneal space extending cranially up to epigastrium and caudally into pelvis giving anterior displacement of uterus.  And posterior displacement of bowel loops. A large part of lesion is cystic with solid component with multiple internal echoes.

Linfangioma mesentérico quístico de intestino delgado simulando tumoración ovárica / Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma of small bowel mimicking ovarian tumor

Resumen El linfangioma quístico, caracterizado por proliferación de los espacios linfáticos, es una lesión infrecuente en pacientes adultos. Menos del 1% de todos los linfangiomas corresponden a linfangiomas del intestino delgado. La presentación clínica es diversa, variando desde un quiste abdominal asintomático, diagnosticado de forma incidental, a un cuadro de abdomen agudo. Se presenta un caso de linfangioma mesentérico quístico del intestino delgado en una mujer de 30 años y quien consultó por dolor abdominal y vómitos. La ecografía y la tomografía computada abdominal mostraron un quiste con múltiples septos en el cuadrante inferior derecho simulando un tumor de ovario. En la laparotomía se encontró un tumor quístico, lobulado y marrón, procedente del mesenterio del intestino delgado. A la paciente se le realizó resección de la tumoración y del intestino delgado adyacente con reconstrucción del tránsito intestinal. La evaluación histológica confirmó el diagnóstico de linfangioma mesentérico quístico.

Abstract Cystic lymphangioma, characterized by proliferation of lymphatic spaces, is an infrequent lesion in adult patients. Less than 1% of all lymphangiomas correspond to small-bowel lymphangiomas. Clinical presentation can be diverse ranging from incidental abdominal cysts to an acute abdomen. We report a case of small bowel mesenteric cystic lymphangioma in a 30 years-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. The abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan showed a cystic multiseptated mass at the right lower quadrant mimicking an ovarian tumor. Laparotomy found a lobulated, brown, cystic tumor from the small bowel mesentery. The patient underwent resection of the tumor and the adjacent small intestine with reconstruction of the intestinal transit. The histological study confirmed diagnosis of mesenteric cystic lymphangioma.
