“…Early-stage ovarian carcinoma seldom produces symptoms, and consequently more than half of all ovarian carcinomas are at an advanced stage [2]. 70% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage [1]. Although serous adenocarcinoma is the most common histological subtype [1], an exceptional complication has been described.…”

“…70% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage [1]. Although serous adenocarcinoma is the most common histological subtype [1], an exceptional complication has been described. According to a recent literature review by a Japanese team [2], regarding colo-adnexal fistula, only a case was noted with serous carcinoma.…”
Colo-ovarian fistulization is a rare complication of serous
adenocarcinoma of the ovary. This clinical case provides insight into
its pathophysiological consequences and the best therapeutic approach in
this unusual situation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
