GIANT OVARIAN SEROUS CYSTOADENOMA IN PATIENT AFFECTED BY COVID19: EXPERIENCE OF AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE

Abstract

In the last 40 years, humanity has been affected by three major pandemics that have claimed many deaths: the increase in the incidence and prevalence rates of chronic non-communicable diseases, the pandemic of the immunodeciency virus disease human-AIDS (HIV / AIDS) and currently the pandemic caused by covid-19. Covid-19 is an emerging viral infectious disease, which has contributed to increasing mortality from chronic diseases in a very short time. Epidemics of unknown emerging diseases such as covid-19 put to the test not only the technical and human capacity of health professionals who directly care for the sick, but, and above all, that of health systems and society usually. For an adequate understanding of this phenomenon, they must be approached with a general approach that integrates many elements that, otherwise, can only give a partial vision of the matter. Due to the aforementioned, we consider it necessary to present this clinical case, based on ovarian pathology of a positive patient for the new coronovarirus and its subsequent interdisciplinary management. Giant ovarian cysts are considered this way when they weigh more than 12 kilos. They are a rare entity today. By denition, a cystic growth of the ovary must be at least 3 cm in diameter to be called a cyst. In the 1970s and 1980s, 20 cases of cysts greater than 20 kg were reported in the world literature. Ovarian tumors are not as common as those of the uterus and breast. They constitute the third group of benign and malignant tumors in women. Ovarian serous cystadenoma arises from the supercial (coelomic) epithelium, made up of cystic areas. There are macroscopically small tumors and massive tumors that occupy the entire pelvis and even the abdominal cavity. Until now, no literature has been found that gives us information on ovarian pathology during the course of the pandemic that we are now experiencing; reason for which this clinical case is presented. Objective: Describe the adnexal pathology associated with covid-19 infection. Design: Prospective, observational in a single center. Methodology: This is a systematic review of adnexal pathology in a patient affected by the new coronavirus (Covid-19); emphasizing its clinical characteristics and its short-term complications. The information and images obtained belong to the medical staff in charge of the case, whose reinforcements are provided by the Excel, Word and JPG statistical package.
