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
• Broadly we can categorize them as acute and subacute presentations

Subacute 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
• Other less common symptoms include palpable lymphadenopathy and 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
