CORRESPONDENCE AND BRIEF REPORT
Mesovarian hemangioma presenting as massive ascites, pelvic mass, and elevated CA125
Abstract
We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with pelvic mass, ascites, and an elevated CA125 mimicking advanced-stage ovarian cancer. She underwent laparotomy, drainage of ascites, total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and infracolic omentectomy. Histology confirmed this to be mesovarian hemangioma, a benign condition.
