BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer commonly presents with vague symptoms that delay diagnosis until disease is advanced. Granulomatous peritonitis is a term used to describe granulomatous inflammation within the peritoneal cavity and mimics advanced stage ovarian cancer clinically and on imaging. The goal of this study was to examine the frequency and characteristics of cases of granulomatous peritonitis mimicking ovarian cancer at a single institution and to describe the etiology in this population.MethodsEight cases were identified with pathology conformation of granulomatous disease and absence of cancer. The etiologies include pelvic tuberculosis, ruptured dermoid cyst, ruptured hemorrhagic corpus luteum, prior endometriosis surgery, xanthogranulomatous inflammation and three cases of tubo-ovarian abscesses.ResultsSeven of the eight had pelvic masses on imaging studies; one patient had presumed carcinomatosis without an adnexal mass on CT scan. Preoperative CA-125 was elevated in four of the eight patients, with a range of 30.8 to 228 U/mL. All had some form of surgical management with at least one ovary removed.ConclusionClinicians should be aware of this disease to improve diagnosis and direct appropriate patient management.

Abdominal Inflammatory Lesions Mimicking Malignancy: Imaging Pitfalls and Clues

Review

Abdominal inflammatory lesions may closely mimic malignancies on imaging, leading to diagnostic uncertainty and potentially unnecessary interventions. This pictorial review presents a series of cases involving diverse inflammatory conditions-including autoimmune pancreatitis, xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis, diverticulitis, peritoneal tuberculosis, and others-that radiologically resembled neoplastic processes. Key imaging findings, such as mass-forming patterns, enhancement characteristics, and diffusion restriction, are discussed alongside clinical and laboratory correlations. Recognizing these mimickers is essential, as accurate diagnosis often depends on a multidisciplinary approach that integrates imaging expertise with clinical context, ultimately improving patient care and avoiding misdiagnosis.

Challenges in diagnosis and management of xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis: A rare case

Article

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCEXanthogranulomatous inflammation of the female genital tract is a rare condition involving ovarian tubes characterized by chronic inflammation and destruction of pelvic organs, often mimicking pelvic malignancy.CASE PRESENTATIONA 37-year-old female with a history of chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and treated pulmonary tuberculosis, presented with lower abdominal fullness, pain, and irregular menstrual cycles.CLINICAL DISCUSSIONRadiological investigations revealed a significant left adnexal mass, suggesting a tubo-ovarian abscess or neoplastic lesion. Staging laparotomy was performed, and intraoperatively, the mass was found adherent to surrounding organs. A frozen section analysis indicated a benign lesion and a hysterectomy was deferred. Histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of xanthogranulomatosis salpingo-oophoritis.CONCLUSIONThis case underscores the importance of considering rare inflammatory conditions in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses. It highlights the challenges in management, including the risk of extensive surgeries leading to infertility. Thorough investigation and accurate diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management and to minimize unnecessary interventions.
