Ovarian hemangioma presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA125

We report the first case of ovarian hemangioma presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with elevated CA125. Abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) assumed ovarian carcinoma. Chest CT revealed pleural effusion. Intraoperative frozen-section examination of the right ovary showed benign hemangioma. After operation, chest radiograph and ultrasonography showed no pleural effusion or ascites.     

Ovarian capillary hemangioma presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome: a case report

We report a case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, consisting of bilateral ovarian hemangiomas, hydrothorax, ascites, and an elevated CA 125 level, which was resolved after laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.     

Struma ovarii associated with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome and elevated serum CA 125: a case report and review of the literature

The association of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome, elevation of CA 125 to the struma ovarii is a rare condition. So far only nine cases have been reported in English literature through MEDLINE search. Here we report a 46-year-old case of the struma ovarii, presented with ascites, hydrothorax, right ovarian mass and elevated serum CA 125 level. These findings were misdiagnosed for an ovarian malignancy at the first impression. Immediate resolution of the ascites, hydrothorax and normalization of the serum CA 125 level were followed by ovarian mass removal. Struma ovarii could be a rare cause of ascites, hydrothorax, ovarian mass and elevated CA 125. This rare condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patents with ascites and pleural effusions but with negative cytology.     

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and pregnancy]

The clinical aspects of pregnancy, parturition and childbed in a young primigravida, who had the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, are reported. The whole course was without complications, contrary to other bibliographies. A survey of the family gave no evidence, that the characteristic was familial. Possibilities of danger are showed.     

HELLP syndrome]

The Hellp syndrome is a rare complication of hypertension in pregnancy, characterized by haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and thrombocytopenia. Since the disease progresses very rapidly, it is important for successful treatment, to make an early diagnosis, evaluating the typical laboratory data changes, which are evident prior to clinical manifestations. Means of diagnosis and therapeutic approach are described, on the basis of personal experience.     

Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome]

The Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder clinically manifested by tetraphocomelia, pre- and postnatal growth retardation, and craniofacial abnormalities (skull, eyes, lip, and palate), accompanied at times by centromer puffing and splitting, renal abnormalities, heart defect, clitoral or penile enlargement, and bilateral corneal opacities. Mental retardation is common in surviving patients.
