Re: Ovarian mass and early pregnancy (long--what a surprise!)From: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu)Fri Jun 30 05:52:25 2000
9 Cm. is an awful big ectopic for an HCG of 3800. Do a Menstrual Aspiration first and see if you get villi. If you do, then you can watch HCG and cyst. If not, you could give MTX and watch cyst.

Point Blank, I asked him if he thought that he should have seen more with that HCG, and he didn't hesitate--yes. So, now we have an HCG of 3800, an empty uterus, and an ovarian mass--and by the way, she doesn't wish to be pregnant. My working assumption is an ovarian mass unrelated to pregnancy (although Jay could be right--but a 9 cm. corpus luteum seems a bit unusual), and let's rule out an ectopic, realizing it *might* be a very early IUP. It is Thursday night, and we're going to the OR Friday PM. I'm then out of town, but will post the results. Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
