A Rare Case of Postmenopausal Hirsutism Associated With a Serous Cystadenofibroma of the Ovary.

Hirsutism in females is most commonly associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome, but can also result from congenital adrenal hyperplasia and ovarian tumors like granulosa cell tumors, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, and hilus cell tumors. We present a case of a 54-year-old female with hirsutism, diagnosed with ovarian cystadenofibroma. She had a history of premature ovarian failure at the age of 35 and presented with new onset chin and upper lip hair, and scalp hair loss.

Identification of prognostic factors after positive second-look surgery in epithelial ovarian carcinoma.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify independent prognostic factors for survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who had persistent disease identified at second-look surgery.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who had positive findings at second-look surgery between June 1991 and June 2002. All patients achieved a complete clinical remission after a prescribed course of primary therapy.
