RESUMO
The study included 64 postmenopausal women with adnexal masses. The selection criteria included menopausal status, an ultrasound scan indicating a benign mass and serum levels of CA-125 below the cutoff (35 U/ml). The results of the study confirm that the removal of a cystic mass in postmenopausal patients with laparoscopic surgery is a more valid and acceptable alternative to traditional surgery.

Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome, or chondroectodermal dysplasia, is a rare genetic disorder associated with chondrodysplasia, ectodermal dysplasia, polydactyly, and congenital cardiac malformations. The disorder is due to an autosomal-recessive mutation mapped to chromosome 4p16. It may occur with different phenotypes. The case of an ovarian endometriotic cyst in a patient suffering from EvC syndrome is reported.
