Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed a complex cystic and solid abdominal mass of 21 centimeters in largest dimension. She had normal tumor markers including a normal CA125. However, she was noted on exam to have hirsutism. Total testosterone was 206 and DHEA-S was normal. The patient was taken for exploartory laparotomy. Upon opening the abdomen, it was noted that the ovarian vessles were torsed. The mass was exteriorized without untwisting the torsion. Once removed, the mass was sent for frozen section. This was a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the right ovary. Complete staging laparotomy was negative for gross disease elsewhere in the abdomen or pelvis. The contralateral ovary was negative for tumor by frozen section. Geffrey H.

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.
