Massive ovarian edema--a diagnostic dilemma: a case report.

ABSTRACT

A case of massive ovarian edema and polycystic ovaries in a 15 years old girl is being reported for its rarity. Definitive preoperative diagnosis is often not achieved and there by the patient is at a risk of losing the ovary(ies). Thus a definitive preoperative diagnosis should be ascertained to save the organ. A review on the previously reported cases with probable etiopathogenesis and emphasis on the radiological and morphological diagnosis for appropriate management has been discussed.
