On Hoofs and Zebras – Struma Ovarii
A 75-year-old mother of ten suffering from a urinary tract infection developed macrohematuria and therefore an abdominal ultrasound was performed, followed by a CT scan when an unexpected large pelvic mass was discovered. Past history included hypertension, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and remote history of minor stroke (on candesartan, dabigatran, bisoprolol); bilateral chronic lymphedema; and hysterectomy due to prolapse at the age of 40. Imaging revealed nephrolithiasis and a prominent left adnexal mass suspected as ovarian cancer.
