A RARE CASE OF OVARIAN CANCER IN A 19-YEAR-OLD PATIENT
Keywords:
ovarian cancer, surgery, treatment, mortality
Abstract
Ovarian cancer is an important health problem because, in generally, is an asymptomatic disease which is diagnosed in advanced stages. Due to these causes it has a high mortality. Managing ovarian cancer in adolescent patients is a real challenge, mainly because the FIGO staging is a surgery one and because it requires an aggressive treatment including radical surgery and chemotherapy. The treatment should be adjusted to each case and it needs a multidisciplinary medical team. We present the case of a 19 years old Caucasian patient who was admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest after she presented to Emergency Room for pelvic-abdominal pain which appeared one month earlier with accentuated progressive character.
