- This case report describes a rare instance of metastatic signet ring carcinoma in the ovary of a 46-year-old Black African woman, occurring alongside a benign fibroma, highlighting the complexity of ovarian lesions.
- The patient experienced significant abdominal swelling and was found to have a large mass in the right ovary, along with signs of metastasis in the lungs and liver, as indicated by imaging and elevated tumor markers (CA 125 and CA 19-9).
- Surgical intervention involved a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, revealing a mix of spindle cells and signet ring cells in the ovarian tissues, illustrating the unique histological findings associated with this case.

Large mediastinum tumors can be challenging to remove due to their size and location near vital organs, making surgical techniques critical for success.
A case study of a 58-year-old woman illustrates the removal of a large neurilemmoma using a combined supraclavicular and median sternotomy approach, allowing for complete resection without severe complications.
The findings suggest that this surgical method could be a viable option for dealing with large tumors that invade the thoracic outlet.

Pelvic tumors, though rare, can lead to pleural effusion, as illustrated by a case of Meigs syndrome in a woman in her 60s with recurrent right-sided pleural effusion, cough, and shortness of breath.
Initial tests, including thoracentesis and pleuroscopy, showed inflammatory changes and negative malignancy results, but elevated cancer antigen 125 levels raised suspicion for cancer.
A CT scan identified a large left ovarian tumor and a uterine mass; subsequent surgery successfully removed them, resulting in no further pleural effusions post-operation.
