This report describes ovarian cancer cases following hysterectomy and a specific instance of ovarian adenocarcinoma occurring two years after radical surgery for widespread endometriosis, while discussing prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy recommendations.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

5 cases of ovarian cancer following hysterectomy are presented. Prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy is discussed. After age 45, a prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy should be performed. After age 50, the ovaries should always be removed along with a hysterectomy. A case of ovarian adeno-carcinoma in the right parametrium two years following radical surgery for wide spread endometriosis is described in detail.
