Ovarian desmoplastic small round cell tumors: Prognosis is poor! Case report

Abstract

<p> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;"><span style="font-size:12px;">The tumor desmoplastic small round cell in women is rare. Ovarian its location is exceptional. We report a patient of 20 years, the originalNorth Africawho consulted for an increase in abdominal volume with impaired general condition. Pelvic ultrasonography and computed tomography were in favor of multiple peritoneal masses with ascites. After surgical exploration, the histological and immunohistochemical data for diagnosis small round cell desmoplastic tumor of ovarian the patient was a candidate for poly chemo</span><span style="font-size:12px;">therapy but she was died a month later. Diagnosis re</span><span style="font-size:12px;">lies on histological and immunohistochemical data. The demonstration of a nonrandom translocation t (11; 22) (p13; q12) is specific for the disease. The management is multidisciplinary and combining surgery, a poly aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The prognosis remains poor.</span></span> </p

Small Bowel Obstruction as a Result of Inflammatory Pseudotumor

“…Radiological findings are variable on computerized tomography; the mass may be heterogeneous, homogeneous, and with no enhancement [13]. The tumor displays low intensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images on magnetic resonance imaging due to delayed enhancement secondary to fibrosis within the mass [14].…”
