ABSTRACT
AbstractEpithelial ovarian tumors are the most common malignant ovarian neoplasms and, in most cases, eventual rupture of such tumors is associated with a surgical procedure. The authors report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with spontaneous rupture of ovarian cystadenocarcinoma documented by computed tomography, both before and after the event. In such cases, a post-rupture staging tends to be less favorable, compromising the prognosis.
RESUMO
ResumoOs tumores epiteliais correspondem à maioria das neoplasias ovarianas, sendo que eventuais rupturas estão mais relacionadas ao ato cirúrgico. Relatamos um caso de cistoadenocarcinoma ovariano em uma paciente de 54 anos com documentação tomográfica pré- e pós-ruptura espontânea. O estadiamento tumoral pós-ruptura tende a ser menos favorável, comprometendo o prognóstico desses pacientes.
