History
A 72-year-old woman has been admitted with shortness of breath. On further questioning she says she has been unwell for about 8 weeks. She has decreased appetite and nausea when she eats. She has lost weight but her abdomen feels swollen. She has generalized dull abdominal pain and constipation, which is unusual for her. There are no urinary symptoms.
She has always been healthy with no previous hospital admissions. She is a widow and did not have any children. Her periods stopped at 52 years and she has had no postmenopausal bleeding. She has never taken hormone-replacement therapy.
Examination
She appears pale and breathless on talking. Chest expansion is reduced on the right side, with dullness to percussion and decreased air entry at the right base. The abdomen is generally distended with shifting dullness. There is a mass arising from the pelvis. Speculum examination is normal, but on bimanual palpation there is a fixed left iliac fossa mass of about 10 cm diameter.
Investigations:
Haemoglobin = 9.2 g/dL
CA-125 = 118 ku/L (normal <30ku/L)
Other routine blood work including liver function test and renal function was in normal range.
The Chest X ray shows An effusion on the right side and Ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis reveals a tumor on the left side and ascites.
Questions
• What is the likely diagnosis?
• How should this woman be further investigated?
• If the diagnosis is confirmed how should she be managed?
Answers And Discussion:
• What is the likely diagnosis?
The most likely Diagnosis is Ovarian carcinoma
Discussion: The history and examination are suggestive of a right pleural effusion and ascites. Them presence of a pelvic mass would suggest that this is due to an ovarian or bowel problem.
The chest X-ray confirms the effusion, and the CT shows a left-sided pelvic tumour and ascites.
CA-125 is a non-specific marker for ovarian carcinoma. The diagnosis is therefore likely to be that of ovarian cancer which commonly presents with systemic symptoms when metastatic disease is already evident.
• How should this woman be further investigated?
To confirm the diagnosis the ovarian tissues should be obtained for pathology.
Laparotomy should be performed with three objectives:
1 obtaining tissue for diagnosis
2 staging the disease according to the extent of tissue involvement
3 primary debulking – to perform a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy
and to reduce all abdominal tumour deposits to a volume of less than 2 cm. This allows optimal effect of chemotherapy following surgery.
• If the diagnosis is confirmed how should she be managed?
- The prognosis for ovarian cancer is poor, as most women present at stage 3 or 4.
- Staging and primary treatment is by laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingoophorectomy and debulking.
- Chemotherapy is often effective adjuvant therapy.
- Prior to any treatment this woman also needs drainage of her pleural effusion for symptomatic
- relief and optimization for anaesthetic.

As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Godstime, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on: Drgodstimehealinghome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2349063469910 on how to get his medication.
An amazing testimony on how i conceive and also get cure from my fibroid permanently with his natural herbs , i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Dr Onokun has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Dr Onokun, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week.
