Abstract
The aim of this study was to discuss the surgical management for ovarian or tubal cancers diagnosed at the time of prophylactic oophorectomy. Two patients with BRCA1 & BRCA2 mutations carriers had ovarian cancer diagnosed during laparoscopic oophorectomy. Conversion to laparotomy was performed in order to complete surgery (hysterectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, omentectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy). These two patients were upstaged on the basis of para-aortic lymphadenectomy and had massive nodal spread into para-aortic area. One of them had no intra-peritoneal disease and the other one had minor peritoneal disease (only one positive pelvic biopsy in the Douglas pouch). These two patients are alive, one of them with 3.5 years of follow-up after the end of adjuvant treatment. In order to ensure the exact spread of the disease. Lymphadenectomy should be performed in patients with ovarian cancer diagnosed at the time of prophylactic surgery.
