摘要:

Elevation of serum CA 125 levels is associated with malignant serous ovarian carcinomas and has been described in one patient with Meigs syndrome. We present two additional cases of Meigs syndrome with significant elevations in serum CA 125 and report the results of immunohisto-chemical staining for CA 125. CA 125 expression was localized to the omentum and peritoneal surfaces rather than the fibroma. We suggest that expression of CA 125 and accumulation of ascites in these two patients may have resulted from some common peritoneal process.

摘要:

An unusual case is presented of advanced dysgerminoma in a patient with Swyer syndrome, 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis. Unexpected regional invasion necessitated bowel resection, total abdominal hysterectomy, and bilateral salpingo-gonadectomy for a complete en bloc excision of the primary tumor mass and the dysgenetic gonads. This report illustrates the possible need for extensive operative resection in patients with Swyer syndrome.

摘要:

The argon beam coagulator facilitates tumor debulking of peritoneal carcinomatosis. A patient with pseudomyxoma peritoneii originating from the left ovary with multiple peritoneal and omental implants was treated with the argon beam coagulator, enabling ablation of all gross disease.

摘要:

Pelvic hemorrhage from gestational trophoblastic disease remains a common and vexing problem. Traditional surgical therapy, including hysterectomy and hypogastric artery ligation, may be technically difficult as well as hazardous to debilitated patients. In contrast, percutaneous transcatheter embolization specifically occludes the vessels that directly contribute to bleeding. Other potential advantages include avoidance of general anesthesia and major surgery, a rapid recovery period, and preservation of fertility. Various embolic materials allow one to tailor the duration of occlusion to the underlying disorder. Reported complications are rare and generally involve aberrant emboli or inadequate collateral circulation leading to ischemic injury. We believe that transcatheter embolization should be considered an alternative to operative intervention for control of pelvic hemorrhage from gestational trophoblastic disease.
