L9: Ovarian Swellings - Pt 2 Flashcards
(88 cards)
Spread of Cancer Ovary
Spread of Cancer Ovary
- Direct
To the surrounding genital and extra-genital organs
Spread of Cancer Ovary
- Lymphatic
the main route of spread in germ cell tumors.
- To pelvic LNs & para-aortic LNs “main”
- Also, to the supraclavicular lymph nodes through the lymphatic channels of the diaphragm
Spread of Cancer Ovary
- Blood
- Hematogenous spread at the time of diagnosis is uncommon.
- It involves lung, liver, bone, and brain.
Spread of Cancer Ovary
- Transcelomic spread & peritoneal seedling
Main & earliest mode in epithelial tumors.
- It rarely penetrates intestinal lumen but progressively may agglutinate loops of bowel together → intestinal obstruction

Complications of ovarian tumors
- Torsion of pedicle
- Rupture
- Hemorrhage
- Infection
- Impaction in pelvis
- Intestinal obstruction
- Degeneration
- Meigs’ syndromes
- Malignant changes
- Complications during pregnancy
- Pressure symptoms
- Metastasis of mg one
Complications of Cancer Ovary
- Torsion of Pedicle
Torsion of Pedicle in Ovarian Tumors
- Predisposing factors
- Small to moderate size.
- Long pedicle (as dermoid
Torsion of Pedicle in Ovarian Tumors
- PPT Factors
- straining during defecation or labor.
- Turning over in bed or intercourse.
Torsion of Pedicle in Ovarian Tumors
- CP
- Acute abdominal pain
- Tender mass in lower abdomen
- Fluid is usually found in peritoneal cavity by US.
Torsion of Pedicle in Ovarian Tumors
- TTT
Rupture in Ovarian Tumors
Rupture in Ovarian Tumors
- Predisposing factors
Rupture in Ovarian Tumors
- CP
Rupture in Ovarian Tumors
- TTT
Immediate Laparotomy
Incidence of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
Rare Condition
Etiology of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
- Mucinous ovarian tumors.
- Well differentiated cancer colon
- Mucocele of appendix.
Pathology in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
- The peritoneal cavity is filled with mucinous material - extensive adhesions.
- The condition commonly recurs after laparotomy & evacuation with excision of the ovarian tumor “may be due to chemical peritonitis”.
TTT of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
It may need radiotherapy or intra-peritoneal instillation of radio-active isotope.
