ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Ovarian edema, ovarian leiomyoma, and double inferior vena cava are all rare clinical entities. The coexistence of all these entities has not been yet reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 25-year-old nulliparous tamang woman with all these rare clinical entities, who presented with a complaint of right-sided lower abdominal pain. After examination and investigation, an ovarian tumor was suspected and laparotomy was performed during which bilateral ovarian edema with a solid tumor on the left side was identified and left salpingo-oophorectomy was done preserving her right ovary. A histopathological examination confirmed the clinical findings.CONCLUSIONS:
As ovarian edema is a rare entity, due to lack of clinical suspicion it is often overdiagnosed as a malignant tumor leading to radical surgery with subsequent loss of hormonal function and early infertility. A high degree of clinical suspicion during the intraoperative period is helpful for diagnosis to avoid unnecessary oophorectomy and infertility.Palavras-chave
