Abstract

Objective:Myomas are the most common uterine neoplasms. They usually have a characteristic appearance on ultrasound but the myomas that have undergone degeneration may have variable patterns. We are presenting a patient with the histologic diagnosis of uterine myoma with cystic degeneration, but preoperatively, we strongly suspected that the tumor was a primary ovarian tumor.

Case report: A 41-year-old woman, presented with a history of abdominal distention and pelvic pain. Abdominal sonogram showed a large, complex and predominantly cystic mass, approximately 20 cm × 30 cm in size, occupying the whole abdomen and suggestive of a suspicious ovarian neoplasm. Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan showed a large, thin-walled and predominantly cystic mass. The tumor was in general cystic but solid components showed contrast enhancement after contrast injection. Tumor markers were slightly elevated. Primary ovarian tumor was the most likely diagnosis, because of its size, cystic nature and thin walls. At laparotomy, we found an enlarged, complex and predominantly cystic tumor arising from the uterus that filled the entire abdominal cavity. Total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy was done. Frozen section diagnosis was degenerated uterine myoma. Postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged 5 days after the operation. The final histologic diagnosis was uterine myoma with cystic and myxoid degeneration, no mitosis nor necrosis was present.

Conclusion: An uterine myoma with extensive cystic degeneration may mimic an ovarian tumor on imaging modalities and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an adnexial / pelvic mass.

Keywords: Fibroids; ovarian cancer; degenerated myoma.

OVER TÜMÖRÜNÜ TAKLİT EDEN KİSTİK DEJENERASYONA UĞRAMIŞ MYOMA UTERİ - OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Amaç:Uterusun en sık
karşılaşılan tümörleri myomlardır. Ultrason incelemesinde myomlar karakteristik
görüntüleri ile kolayca tanınabilirler. Bununla beraber dejenere myomların
görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tanınmaları zor olabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda
preoperatif değerlendirmede primer over tümörü düşündüğümüz fakat histolojik
tanısı kistik dejenerasyona uğramış myoma uteri olan bir hastamızı sunmaktayız.

Olgu
sunumu
: 41 yaşındaki hasta abdominal
gerginlik ve pelvik ağrı nedeniyle refere edildi. Tüm batın ultrasonografi
incelemesinde büyük, kompleks, kistik komponenti baskın, 20*30 cm boyutlarında,
tüm batını dolduran ve over kanseri düşündüren bir kitle saptandı. MR
incelemesi kitlenin büyük, ince cidarlı ve ön planda kistik olduğunu gösterdi.
Kistin içerisinde solid komponentlerde kontrast tutulumu saptandı. Tümör
göstergeçleri normal aralıkta idi. Kitlenin boyutları, kistik yapısı ve ince
duvarları tanının primer over tümörü olduğunu düşündürdü. Laparotomide
uterustan kaynaklanan, tüm abdominal kaviteyi dolduran, kompleks yapıda ve
kistik komponenti baskın olan bir kitle saptadık. Total histerektomi ve
bilateral salpingooferektomi yapıldı. Peroperatif patolojik inceleme (frozen
section – dondurarak kesme) sonucu dejenere myom olarak geldi. Hastanın
postoperatif takibi sorunsuz geçti ve hasta 5. günde taburcu edildi. Patoloji
sonucu kistik ve miksoid dejenerasyon içeren, mitoz ve nekroz içermeyen, myoma
uteri olarak geldi.

Sonuç: Kistik dejenerasyon içeren myoma uteri görüntüleme
yöntemlerinde over tümörünü taklit edebilir ve adneksiyal kitle yönetiminde
ayırıcı tanıda dejenere myom da düşünülmelidir.
