Recurrent mucinous cystadenoma: a laparoscopic approach

Abstract

The second most common epithelial tumor of the ovary is mucinous-type, and it constitutes 8-10% of all ovarian tumors. The recurrence of mucinous cystadenoma is very rare after complete excision. Only four such cases have been reported till date. The case presented in this report is the fifth, who had her initial surgery performed by gynecologic oncology team by laparotomy and was followed up by the same group. After recurrence at the same ovary, the patient underwent laparoscopic evaluation and unilateral salpingoophorectomy was performed. The final histopathological diagnosis was mucinous cystadenoma, just the same as the initial cyst.

Recurrent mucinous neoplasm arising in cesarean scar: A case report and review of literature

“…Few cases have been reported regarding recurrent benign mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] However, in 2010, Ben-Ami et al 17 reported that the recurrence rates of cystadenomas may not be as low as reported in the literature. They showed that three of 42 patients (7.1%) included in their study had mucinous cyst recurrence in the ipsilateral ovary.…”

“…The recurrence of ovarian mucinous cysts is very rare. Few cases have been reported regarding recurrent benign mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary 10–16 . However, in 2010, Ben‐Ami et al 17 reported that the recurrence rates of cystadenomas may not be as low as reported in the literature.…”

Recurrent Bilateral Mucinous Cystadenoma: Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy with Review of Literature

“…Turkyilmaz et al in 2009 reported a case that had her initial surgery performed by gynecologic oncology team by laparotomy and was followed up by the same group. After recurrence at the same ovary, the patient underwent laparoscopic evaluation and unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed [6].…”

A minimally invasive approach with fertility preservation in a young woman with distinct bilateral ovarian masses: a case report and review of the literature

“…Most mucinous ovarian neoplasms (77-87%) are classified as benign. These neoplasms tend to be cystic in nature, and the majority of mucinous tumors (76%) are multilocular, whereas 24% are unilocular ( Turkyilmaz et al ., 2009 ). In summary, a minimally invasive surgical approach by laparoscopy with preservation of both ovaries is feasible and crucial, even in rare and difficult cases such as the current case.…”
