Abstract

Ovarian malignancies, especially in advanced stages, are typically presented by ascites and elevated serum Ca-125 levels. Rarely pleural effusion could be seen in these cases due to metastasis or diaphragmatic transportation. Meig’s syndrome defines coexistence of a benign ovarian tumor (fibroma, tecoma or granulose cell tumor), ascites and hydrothorax. In this report, a case of postmenauposal adnexial mass with acute ascites and elevated serum Ca-125 level, that was suspicious for an adnexial malignancy preoperatively. Intraoperative frozen section analysis revealed ovarian tecoma. Meig’s syndrome is a benign pathology that mimicks ovarian malignancy. Differential diagnosis of these two situations is a diagnostic challenge especially in postmenauposal women. Intraoperative frozen section is an important diagnostic method for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Özet

Ovaryen maligniteler, özellikle ileri evrelerde, tipik olarak assit ve serum Ca-125 yüksekliği ile prezente olurlar. Nadiren me- tastaz veya diyafragmatik transportasyona bağlı plevral efüz- yon saptanabilmektedir. Meig's sendromu ise benign ovaryen tümör (fibrom, tekom veya granüloza hücreli tümör), assit ve hidrotoraksın birlikte bulunması olarak tanımlanır. Bu makalede post-menopozal adneksiyal kitle, akut assit ve yüksek serum Ca-125 düzeyleri nedeniyle adneksiyal malignite düşünülen bir olgu sunulmuştur. İntraoperatif frozen section incelemesi ovar- yen tekoma olarak saptanmıştır. Meig's sendromu ovaryen ma- ligniteyi taklit eden benign bir patolojidir. Bu durum özellikle postmenopozal kadınlarda tanıyı güçleştirmektedir. Bu olgular- da intraoperatif frozen section incelemesi tanıyı doğrulamak ve tedaviyi yönlendirmek açısından önem taşımaktadır
