Endometriosis Mimicking Ovarian Malignancy: Diagnostic Dilemma of Three Cases
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Ovarian endometriosis is an estrogen dependent gynecologic disease commonly affecting reproductive age group and 2-5% of postmenopausal women. Widespread endometriosis may be misdiagnosed as metastatic ovarian malignancy by imaging especially when coupled with increased levels of CA125. Present study reviews three such cases highlighting the need for high index of clinical suspicion in the correct case scenario. The clinicians should be aware of this mimicker as misdiagnosis has potential to distort the course of disease and may lead to unnecessary radical surgery in patients.
