A comprehensive clinical examination is the basis for selecting further diagnostic steps: General physical examination – including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, height; further: Inspection (viewing). Skin and mucous membranes Abdominal wall and inguinal region (groin area). Percussion (tapping) of the abdominal wall (ascites?) [Phenomenon of fluctuation wave. This can be triggered as follows: tapping … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Examination

Meigs syndrome (Demons-Meigs syndrome, Meigs-Cass syndrome): ovarian fibroma with ascites (abdominal fluid) and pleural effusion (chest effusion) usually on the right side Endocrine, nutritional and … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Complications

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Classification

Ovarian tumors (ovarian tumors) are generally classified according to histologic (fine-tissue) appearance. Distinct from true ovarian tumors with autonomous growth are the tumor-like formations. The latter develop in preformed structures of the ovary and are called functional cysts or retention cysts. In addition to benign (benign) tumors, there are facultative malignant (malignant) (borderline tumors) and … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Classification

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Test and Diagnosis

Laboratory parameters of the 1st order – obligatory laboratory tests. Small blood count Differential blood count CRP (C-reactive protein) or ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Laboratory parameters 2nd order – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, etc. – for differential diagnostic clarification. Tumor markers (CA 125, Ca 72-2, Ca 15-3,) (very non-specific, often … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Test and Diagnosis

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Drug Therapy

Therapeutic goal or recommendations The problem with diagnosing an ovarian tumor is that the vast majority can become malignant (malignant), and malignant ovarian tumors almost exclusively have a poor prognosis. Although the risk of malignancy increases with age (< 30 years about 3%, 40-50 years 5-15%, > 50 years up to 35%), it is basically … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Drug Therapy

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Diagnostic Tests

Mandatory Medical Device Diagnostics. Sonography (ultrasonography) of the pelvis (vaginal/through the vagina, abdominal/through the abdominal wall, both if necessary) Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and obligatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification. Doppler sonography (ultrasound examination that can dynamically visualize fluid flows (especially blood flow)). … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Diagnostic Tests

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Operative Therapy

Uncomplicated cysts Procedure before the onset of menopause: Diameter of the cyst is <5 cm: Postmenstrual control (after menstruation) of the cyst by sonography (ultrasound). In case of persistence (persistence): sonography every 4 weeks. After three months of persistence: surgery with histological clarification. Diameter of the cyst is > 5 cm: Postmenstrual control of the … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Operative Therapy

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Prevention

Prevention of ovarian cysts and other benign neoplasms of the ovary is very limited (exceptions: functional cysts, hyperstimulation syndrome, see below) because there are no known risk factors. Familial burden There are no systematic studies of familial burden in benign (benign) changes of the ovary. However, it is known that families with genetic breast carcinomas … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Prevention

Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Symptoms, Complaints, Signs

Symptoms and complaints of ovarian cysts and benign neoplasms of the ovary (ovary) are uncommon, often atypical, and nonspecific, especially depending on the size of the tumor.

The following symptoms and complaints may indicate ovarian cysts and other … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Symptoms, Complaints, Signs

Some exceptions are: Functional cysts (retention cysts): Endometriosis cysts (chocolate cysts,tar cysts): the pathogenesis is unclear. There are currently several theories: Immunological theory – this theory describes a possible immunodeficiency of affected women. Metaplasia theory – this theory assumes that … Ovarian Cysts and Benign Overay Neoplasms: Causes
