Primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the ovary.   Document Language : English  Abstract : A 31-year-old woman presented to King Abdulaziz University Hospital complaining of an abdominal pain and a rapid increase in abdominal girth. An ultrasound and MRI, revealed a huge cystic ovarian mass without ascites. Ovarian tumor markers were all within normal range. Exploratory laparotomy showed huge right ovarian mass with omental mass. Frozen section from the omentum showed metastatic malignant neoplasm. Total abdominal hysterectomy was carried out with bilateral salpingooophorectomy and omentectomy with residual tumor of less then one centimeter. Final pathology assessment showed primitive neuroectodermal tumor arising from the right ovary. She received post- operative chemotherapy. Four months later she had recurrence and was given second line chemotherapy, but she did not respond and died 15 months after the diagnosis due to obstructive uropathy.  ISSN : 18327377  Journal Name : Saudi Med J.  Volume : 29  Issue Number : 3  Publishing Year : 2008 AH 2008 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, April 11, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email جودة المغربي Al-Maghrabi, Jaudah Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  26373.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
