Abstract
Objective. Ovarian hemangiomas are very rare with the majority being cavernous hemangiomas. We report a case of a capillary ovarian hemangioma.Methods. A case report of a woman with a capillary ovarian hemangioma with massive ascites and an elevated CA-125 is presented.Results. A 39-year-old woman presented with an enlarged ovary containing two ovarian cysts. Her CA-125 was elevated to 872 U/ml. On surgical exploration, she had 1500 cc of clear yellow ascitic fluid and a 7.9 × 6.5 × 4.5 cm left ovarian mass. Frozen section revealed marked stromal edema with luteinized cells and no evidence of malignancy. Histologically, the tumor was a cellular capillary hemangioma with an anastomosing vascular pattern.Conclusions. This is the first case, reported in the literature, of an ovarian capillary hemangioma presenting with an elevated CA-125 and massive ascites.
