Case description

Abdominal ultrasound shows para-aortic lymph-node adenopathy. Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of cancer death from gynecologic tumors in the United States. Early disease causes minimal, nonspecific, or no symptoms. Therefore, most patients are diagnosed in an advanced stage. Overall, prognosis for these patients remains poor. Standard treatment involves aggressive debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy. Many histological types of ovarian tumors are described. However, more than 90% of malignant tumors are epithelial tumors.
