A rare ovarian mass with pregnancy: A Case Report
Keywords:
Xantogranulomatous Oophorotis, Foamy Histiocytes, Chronic inflammationAbstract
Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is an uncommon, non-neoplastic, chronic process in which the affected organ is destroyed by massive cellular infiltration of foamy histiocytes admixed with multinucleated giant cells, plasma cells, fibroblasts, neutrophils. The etiology of this entity is unknown. It is more commonly seen in the kidney, Intestines and gall bladder. Very few cases of Xanthogranulomatous Oophoritis (XO) is relatively rare and so far no case exists of this condition affecting the ovary during pregnancy.
We report here a 30-year-old Primigravida @ 35 wks PoG with twin gestation, who presented with a large ovarian mass with suspicion of infective pathology on clinico-radiological findings and diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis, which was established on histopathology.
Clinically and radiologically, xanthogranulomatous oophritis mimics tumor of the ovary thereby making it an important entity. A thorough histopathological examination can aid in confirming the diagnosis.
