Overview
The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.
OR
The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
History and Symptoms
- Patients with ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors present in a much similar way as epithelial ovarian neoplasms, although a few sub-types do vary in their presentation[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
- Broadly we can categorize them as acute and subacute presentations
Common Symptoms/presentations
- Adnexal mass:
- This is the most common presentation of ovarian cancer
- It may be discovered due to symptoms of pelvic pain or pressure, or sometimes may be found on a routine pelvic examination or an imaging study performed for detecting another medical condition
- Abdominal & pelvic symptoms:
- Bloating
- Urinary urgency or frequency
- Dysphagia(difficulty eating) or feeling full quickly
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
less common symptoms/presentations
- palpable lymphadenopathy
- postmenopausal bleeding
Acute presentations
They can manifest themselves as bowel obstruction, pleural effusion and even venous thromboembolism
- Pleural effusions:
- They usually present with shortness of breath
- We should proceed with a chest x-ray, followed by thoracentesis which reveals a malignant pleural effusion
- Bowel obstruction:
- Patients usually present with typical features of bowel obstruction like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and distention
History
Patients with [disease name]] may have a positive history of:
- [History finding 1]
- [History finding
- [History finding 3]
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of [disease] include:
- [Symptom 1]
- [Symptom 2]
- [Symptom 3]
Less Common Symptoms
Less common symptoms of [disease name] include
- [Symptom 1]
- [Symptom 2]
- [Symptom 3]
