Abstract
We treated a patient with a massive amount of ascites, the cytology of which contained adenocarcinoma (class V). The left ovary was slightly enlarged and the preoperative diagnostic imaging (PDI) suggested the presence of a malignancy. The right ovary was of normal size and the PDI presented no evidence of malignancy. The intra- and postoperative histological diagnosis was serous cystadenocarcinoma of the right ovary and fibroma of the left ovary. Therefore, this case can be classified as one of a normal-sized ovary carcinoma syndrome. Difficulties involved in the preoperative diagnosis of this syndrome and drawbacks of PDI are discussed.
