Bowel Obstruction from Benign Adnexal Mass in an Elderly Patient
Journal Title: International Journal of Radiology and Imaging Technology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Bowel obstruction resulting from ovarian masses is a serious complication of these diseases. This may be caused by bulky masses filling the pelvis and the abdomen, and should be carefully worked out by pre-operative imaging because of their non-specific clinical signs that may be confused with those due to other conditions such as: volvulus, cancer or adhesions. We report the case of a 70 years old woman with a bulky pelvic-abdominal mass of 27 × 20 cm that was found to be an ""ovarian serous cystadenoma" and clinical signs of intestinal obstruction, which was treated by uterus sparing surgery.
