[Bilateral ovary massive edema. Unusual gynecologic pathology. Report of 2 cases]. / Edema masivo de ovario bilateral. Patología ginecológica poco frecuente. Informe de dos casos.

We report two cases of bilateral massive ovarian edema occurred in a concentration hospital in the last five years. This condition was first described by Kalstone et al. in 1969. It may be uni or bilateral, the last one is very uncommon, until the moment of this work there have been reported only ten cases in the world literature. The main symptoms are: abdominal pain or distention, menstrual irregularity and infertility. Two features are characteristic of this pathology: 1) Fast growing in size and volume of the ovary, and 2) Abscense of neoplastic changes with extensive edema of the stroma particularly in the medulla. The current treatment is oophorectomy. In bilateral cases may be intended a conservative management with wedge resection and fixation of the ovaries to the uterus in order to prevent further torsion. We conclude that massive ovarian edema is an uncommon pathology more frequent as a cause of abdominal pain and fast growing anexial mass in young women.

[Para-tubal cysts: frequency and clinical, ultrasonographic and histological correlations]. / Quistes paratubarios: Frecuencia y correlación clínica, ultrasonográfica e histológica.

We Reviewed 5,100 biopsies, between November 1994 to November 1995 We found 100 paratubval cysts. The 80% of the cases were surgical findings. The 40% of the cases had pain. The 3% of the patients had acute pain, that made necessary an urgent surgery. The ultrasonogram revealed an ovarian cyst in 38% of the cases and it couldn't detect them in 63% of the cases. The cysts sizes were: 6 cm. (84%) *12% 9 between 6-12 cm. and 43% between 12-18 cm. The histopathology report was: 57% of serous cyst and 43% simple cyst.
