A 2-year interim analysis from the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Phase 5 (IOTA5) study showed that 80% of ovarian cysts considered benign on ultrasonography either disappeared or required no intervention. (medscape.com)
A systematic review and meta-analysis by Liu et al found that the malignancy rate, including borderline tumors, for simple ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women was approximately 1 in 10,000. (medscape.com)
Women also experience localized peritonitis from an infected fallopian tube or a ruptured ovarian cyst. (medscape.com)
Tumors1
Standard imaging tests, including ultrasonography and helical CT scans, are notably insensitive for the detection of peritoneal tumors. (medscape.com)
Omental1
In addition, in advanced stages, these may be associated with lymphatic involvement in about 27% of cases, including the following in descending order of frequency: pelvic, omental and mesenteric, and paraaortic and supradiaphragmatic regions. (wikipedia.org)
Cystic1
Follicle cysts of the ovary are the most common cystic structures found in healthy ovaries. (medscape.com)
Pelvic1
nevertheless, when there are symptoms these are often non-specific, similar to other adnexal tumours, such as pelvic pain or abdominal distension. (wikipedia.org)
Organs3
Scalloping of the peritoneum or direct invasion of adjacent abdominal organs may also be seen. (medscape.com)
Peritonitis is defined as an inflammation of the serosal membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and the organs contained therein. (medscape.com)
This parietal layer of the peritoneum reflects onto the abdominal visceral organs to form the visceral peritoneum. (medscape.com)
Patients1
Patients may present with an acute or insidious onset of symptoms, limited and mild disease, or systemic and severe disease with septic shock. (medscape.com)
Adjacent1
In figure B, the right anterior abdominal wall is markedly thickened and edematous, with adjacent inflamed terminal ileum. (medscape.com)
Clinical1
Usually, cysts with dimensions less than 2.5 cm are classified as follicles and therefore are not of clinical significance. (medscape.com)
Carcinoma1
Primary peritoneal carcinoma usually manifests as abdominal distention and diffuse nonspecific abdominal pain secondary to ascites. (medscape.com)
Diagnosis1
This article focuses on the diagnosis and management of infectious peritonitis and abdominal abscesses. (medscape.com)
Peritoneum2
Intra-abdominal sepsis is an inflammation of the peritoneum caused by pathogenic microorganisms and their products. (medscape.com)
Infections of the peritoneum are further divided into generalized (peritonitis) and localized (intra-abdominal abscess). (medscape.com)
Malignant1
Acute liver failure may progress to exhibit cerebral dysfunction even HEPATIC COMA depending on the etiology that includes hepatic ISCHEMIA, drug toxicity, malignant infiltration, and viral hepatitis such as post-transfusion HEPATITIS B and HEPATITIS C. (lookformedical.com)
Presence2
Peritoneal implants are very uncommon (15%), and when they occur, a mixed histology as well as the presence of pseudomyxoma peritonei must be ruled out. (wikipedia.org)
In figure C, a right lower quadrant abdominal wall abscess and enteric fistula are observed and confirmed by the presence of enteral contrast in the abdominal wall. (medscape.com)
Disease1
The type and extent of surgery depends on the underlying disease process and the severity of intra-abdominal infection. (medscape.com)
Process1
These cysts arise from temporary pathologic variations of a normal physiologic process and are not neoplastic. (medscape.com)
Layer1
Follicle cysts are lined with an inner layer of granulosa cells and an outer layer of theca interna cells. (medscape.com)
