A case of second gravid, obese who is a known diabetic came to OPD at 13 weeks pregnancy for regular antenatal check up. A routine ultrasonogram was advised in which multiple anomalies were noted and the diagnosis of amniotic band syndrome was made. The parents were counseled for medical termination of pregnancy and after obtaining the consent termination were performed and the parents were asked to postpone the next pregnancy for minimum 6 months. This anomaly as seen in this patient could be due to risk factors like diabetes and obesity.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical and histopathological presentation of ovarian masses. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of 205 cases from May 2009 to June 2013. RESULTS: Incidence of ovarian masses was 6.9 %. Among 205 cases, 68 % were neoplastic. Among the neoplasms, 87.8 % were benign, 10 % malignant, and 2.2 % borderline. Mean ages of malignant and benign neoplasm were 41 and 39 years, respectively. 42.9 % malignant tumors presented with non-specific abdominal and constitutional symptoms. Serous cystadenoma was the commonest benign tumor (67 %) followed by Mucinous (19 %) and Dermoid (11.6 %). Most common malignant ovarian tumor was Serous cystadenocarcinoma (42.9 %). Out of the malignant cases, all were primary except one secondary deposit from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Only 28.6 % presented at stage I, remaining presented at stage III/IV. CONCLUSION: Ovarian neoplasms have twice the incidence of non-neoplasms. Mean age of malignant tumors is decreased. Rising trend in Mucinous cystadenoma is noted.
