Herein, authors review these conditions and present a case in which the ... a cystic kidney in combination with nephroptosis. At vaginal ultrasound performed with the patient in an upright position, the kidney slid down into the pelvis, thus imitating an ovarian mass.

Survival benefit from ovarian metastatectomy in colorectal cancer patients with ovarian metastasis: a retrospective analysis
Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 10/15/2009
Lee SJ et al. – The ovarian metastatectomy significantly prolonged survival in CRC patients with ovarian metastases. The potential role of an ovarian metastatectomy in the ... prospectively studied. Methods- Between 1996 and 2008, 83 CRC patients underwent oophorectomy
- 47 CRC patients with ovarian metastasis without resection were included in analysis
Results- Median age was younger (48 years) in oophorectomy group ... li>
- For ovary-specific survival (date of ovarian metastasis diagnosis to death), CRC patients with oophorectomy showed significantly more favorable survival rate than control group
- In univariate analyses, oophorectomy , unilaterality of ovarian metastasis , metastasis confined to ovaries

Preventing future cancers by testing women with ovarian cancer for brca mutations
Journal of Clinical Oncology, 10/22/2009
Kwon JS et al. – BRCA testing of women with ovarian cancer based on personal/family history of cancer or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry is a cost-effective strategy to prevent future breast and ovarian cancers among FDRs. More inclusive ... Markov Monte Carlo simulation model to compare four criteria for BRCA testing in women with ovarian cancer: no testing (reference); only if personal history of breast cancer, family history of breast/ovarian cancer, or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry; only if invasive serous cancer; any invasive ... outcome was incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) Model estimated number of future breast and ovarian cancer cases in FDRsResults- BRCA testing based on personal/family history and ancestry could prevent future cases in FDRs with an ICER of $32,018 per year ... epithelial ovarian cancer could prevent more cancer cases, but at ICERs of $128,465 and $148,363 per LY gained, respectively

|
Dirican A et al. – The rupture of hydatid cysts into the peritoneal cavity should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in endemic areas. Perforation in a young patient may be the first presentation of hydatid cyst ... Multiple hydatid cysts may be a predisposing factor for perforation. Location of the cyst on segment VI of the liver may be a predisposing factor as well. Emergency surgery is the main treatment for intraperitoneal rupture of hydatid cysts and medical treatment should be given postoperatively
