As a result of the rarity of adenoaquamous carcinomaarising in MCT, there is no standard treatment and most often patients are treated in the same way with those patients as with epithelial ovarian cancer.[2] Multiple case series recommend surgery including total hysterectomy, bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy and pelvic-paraortic lymph node dissection with further platinum-based agent chemotherapy [2,12] The role of radiotherapy still remains unclear.
Background and Objectives: To investigate whether the operations of Type 1 hysterectomy and bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy performed for benign reasons have any effect on sexual life and levels of depression.
The exploratory laparotomy concluded with anterior resection, and bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy. The pathology proved endometriosis with involvement to whole layer of colon as well as pericolic fatty tissue and associated with hemorrhage and inflammation [Figure 2].
Women at high risk of ovarian cancer based on family history and BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation should undergo risk-reducing prophylactic bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy once childbearing is complete, according to guidelines released by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists.
The same held true with regard to prophylactic
salpingo-oophorectomy.
* If the ovaries and fallopian tubes are also removed, the hysterectomy will include a
salpingo-oophorectomy procedure.
A 58-year-old postmenopausal woman with a 15-cm complex cystic right adnexal mass, uterine prolapse, and a large cystocele presented for a laparoscopy, total vaginal hysterectomy, bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy, and anterior and posterior colporrhaphy.
All had undergone bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy a mean of 4.7 years ago.
Women with germline mutations that increase their risk of ovarian cancer are not included in the recommendations and may be candidates for risk reduction
salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), which has been shown to reduce ovarian cancer risk but is not confirmed as a preventive measure, the editorialists said.
Women with BRCA mutations may undergo prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and
salpingo-oophorectomy. Statistically around 5.4% of these asymptomatic cases have occult carcinomas discovered during the risk-reducing procedures and 86% of these lesions are tubal in origin [2].
The patient consented to diagnostic laparoscopy with possible left
salpingo-oophorectomy. During the procedure, the surgeon removed the right fallopian tube and ovary.
A cystadenoma was suspected and a
salpingo-oophorectomy was performed after obtaining an informed consent.
