Abstract

Abstracts. Review of Obstetric and Gynecological literature: English.Alban Doran. Ovarian Tumors, Simulating inflamed Ovaries . (The Edinburgh med. Journ., May 1898, p.p. 449-460). Ovarian tumors or inflammation? (resp. differential diagnosis of these diseases).Despite the thousands of ovarian tumors produced everywhere, the differential diagnosis between cysts and small, solid tumors of the ovary has not yet been sufficiently clarified. Many excise all ovarian tumors that come across; it is not rare that the ovary swelling is caused only by its inflammation, which, with proper treatment, would have passed without an operation. It happens that an ovarian tumor, before it rises from the small pelvis upwards, becomes painful, which is caused by a disease of the uterus or another ovary and may cause an error in the diagnosis. On the other hand, the growth of the ovarian tumor in the small pelvis, with the coincidence of the elongation of the uterus and abundant regulation, gives a reason to take the ovarian tumor for the uterine fibroid. With the aim of contributing to the best diagnosis in such cases, Boran provides 6 history of diseases and discusses the features they represent.
