| Abstract [eng] |
We report a 46-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with complaints of acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. An abdominal CT scan revealed a large (207 × 155 × 182 mm) thin-walled inhomogeneous tumor connected to the uterus and right ovary. Emergency surgery laparotomy was performed. Inside the abdominal cavity, a 30 × 30 cm heterogenous, dark blue tumor in the right adnexa area, torsed two times, weighing 3700 g was found. Histological examination revealed right ovary clear cell carcinoma. We emphasize the rare nature of the histology and presentation of this case report. Ovarian clear cell carcinomas are relatively rare malignancies, presenting in 5 to 10% of ovarian malignant tumors in the west. |
