Article Synopsis
  • A 41-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a large ovarian tumor, which turned out to be a rare borderline tumor from an extragonadal giant endometrial cyst.
  • Imaging revealed a 27 cm × 9 cm cystic tumor, which was surgically removed laparoscopically without involvement of the ovaries.
  • Post-surgery analysis showed it was an endometrioid borderline tumor linked to endometriosis, and a staging laparotomy confirmed no remaining tumor, highlighting the rarity of this case.

We describe an extremely rare case of an unusually presented ovarian fibroma adherent to the sigmoid colon originating from an autoamputated ovary. A 64-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with an abnormal shadow that was approximately 4 cm in diameter in the pelvic cavity detected on abdominal X-ray imaging. Computed tomography demonstrated an irregularly shaped tumor with calcification in the pelvic cavity.

Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic surgical systems have been developed to account for the lack of depth perception, a known disadvantage of conventional 2-dimensional (2D) laparoscopy. In this study, we retrospectively compared the outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with 3D versus conventional 2D laparoscopy. From November 2014, when we began using a 3D laparoscopic system at our hospital, to December 2015, 47 TLH procedures were performed using a 3D laparoscopic system (3D-TLH).
