Description
Ferehiwot Bekele Getaneh and colleagues report in 2026 a case of ovarian twisting in a woman past menopause, with gas inside the tumor and very high tumor marker levels. A 65-year-old woman with long-standing belly swelling came in with sharp pelvic pain, early fullness when eating, and constipation.
Scans showed a twisted pelvic mass measuring 20.6 by 16.5 centimeters, with bleeding, gas, and fluid, and no blood flow on contrast images. Blood markers CA 125 and CA 19-9 were markedly raised, which can mimic cancer. Surgery found a twisted, blood-starved left ovary, and removal of the uterus and both ovaries and tubes led to quick recovery with no cancer features.
