FINAL DIAGNOSE CASE-27
Radiology case -27 FB and INSTA post Analysis
FINAL DIAGNOSE - Pelvic Neoplastic, serious cystadenoma Lesion with Ascites
Patient: 65-year-old female
Clinical Presentation: Lower abdominal pain with progressive swelling..
CT Findings (CECT Abdomen & Pelvis):
🔹 Ascites:
- Moderate free fluid is seen throughout the peritoneal cavity, particularly accumulating in the pelvic region.
- Suggestive of malignant or inflammatory etiology.
🔹 Pelvic Mass:
- A large, heterogeneously multiple ring enhancing pelvic mass lesion seen most possibility -? Neoplasm, serous cystadenoma
- The lesion is lobulated, shows areas of necrosis, and is causing displacement of bowel loops.
- No clear fat plane with adjacent organs, raising suspicion of local invasion.
- Surrounding fat stranding noted.
🔹 Upper Abdomen:
- Liver is normal in size with no focal lesion.
- Gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys appear unremarkable.
- No biliary dilatation or hepatosplenomegaly.
🔹 Lymph Nodes & Metastasis:
- No significant lymphadenopathy.
- No obvious evidence of hepatic or osseous metastasis in visualized sections.
🧠 Radiological Impression:
✅ Moderate Ascites
✅ Large pelvic neoplastic lesion.
💡 Teaching Points for Radiology Learners:
🔸 Always evaluate the origin of pelvic masses — uterine vs ovarian — look for the "claw sign" or uterus displacement.
🔸 Presence of ascites in postmenopausal women with pelvic mass should raise concern for malignancy.
🔸 CT is excellent for assessing tumor spread, while MRI is better for origin clarification in female pelvis.
🔸 Correlate with tumor markers: CA-125 (ovarian), CEA (GI), CA 19-9 (pancreatic/GI).
📌 Next Step:
🔬 Recommend MRI pelvis and tumor markers for further characterization.
🤝 Referral to gynecologic oncology for biopsy and treatment planning.
