- A 69-year-old woman had ovarian and uterine mesonephric-like carcinoma alongside endometrioid adenofibroma and underwent surgery for tumor removal.
- Histological analysis showed that both tumors were likely related, sharing a common origin from Müllerian duct and exhibiting the same KRAS G12D mutation, indicating they were monoclonal.
Objective: In patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) in whom surgery is likely to render them disease-free, it is unclear whether secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) combined with chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone. The aim of this study was to evaluate the 2 treatment options in Tian-model low-risk patients.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 118 ROC cases treated in our hospital between 2004 and 2016.
Background: Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) developed in the small intestine are rare, and it is sometimes difficult to identify and treat bleeding from small intestinal AVMs endoscopically because of their localization. We present a case of a jejunal AVM successfully treated with the combination of metallic coil embolization and laparoscopic surgery.
Case Presentation: A 50-year-old woman with a history of repetitive gastrointestinal bleeding was admitted to the hospital.
