Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A case study is presented in which a 47-year-old woman presented with intermittent severe abdominal pain. On examination there was a green vaginal discharge and a hard, fixed, right adnexal mass with fullness in the left. On an ultrasonic examination, a mass was found in the right adnexa and the left ovary was enlarged. A pre-operative diagnosis of ovarian cancer was made; however, the cyst was found not to be malignant.
