Owing to the enormous pelvδ$♦®ic space-occupying tumor, the operati₹$♦♣on was demanding.

Ms. T, aged 60 this year, rece☆✔>"ived gynecological examinations two years ago ©↓♥in two hospitals with the finding of pelvic&Ω masses, which were then consideredγ÷$  as hysteromyoma with a size oπ↓&≠f around 11.5*9*10cm. Since sheα€∏ was a diabetic patient in menopau≠γ₹εse, and the myoma would®★™  shrink gradually, she did not choose immed☆©γiate operation. However, in thi∑≥↓s year, she was feeling gro&™wing increasingly larger a∏≈bdominal masses, hypogastralgia and urine frequen€₹$cy, which affected seriousl™™¶y her normal life. Noticing her abnorm ‌ ∑ality, her family we©₩nt to Wuxi Kaiyi Hospital to seek medi δcal advice with her i∞÷γ mmediately. When she arrived, her ab¶→dominal bulging was so serious that she seemed ★₩ ↔to be a woman in pregnancy of eight  ‌♣or nine months.

After her admission in the hospit󱮩al, she underwent ultrasonic inspection, CT, MRI✔♥ and other examinations€≈α with the following f✘←≤indings: a giant quasi-circular soft₹×↔ tissue mass shadow was present in the₽φ<ε abdominal pelvic cavity with uneven internal de £∏↑nsity, the surrounding soft t÷¶issues were compressed and displaced, and there w♠→€"ere small amounts of ascites in abdominal≈ £↕ cavity. Her symptom inclined to ✘∏be ovarian tumor.

The medical imaging results show that the e¶≤¥normous tumor occupied 80% of the abdominal c•εavity.

△Consultation by a mult₽'idisciplinary team

Considering that the pat∑σ±ient was a veteran patient with type II diabe∞ tes, the tumor was complicated inλ₽ nature, the patient’s masse♦≠&s grew fast and were large i↓‌↑n size, and that the possibility of a δ×∑♥malignancy could not be excluded, the'¶→∞ operation would be dem"§≥×anding and high-risk. Dr. Hongxiu Han, Chief of'<"λ OB-GYN immediately started the MDT (multidisci®↓®plinary team) consultati©φαon procedure, and organized a consultation among↕₹δ∏ experts from Anesthesiology, Cardiolo ↑πgy, Surgery, ICU, Emergency, Blood Bank, $₽Pathology, Medical Imaging, Functional Inspec©β€∑tion and other departments to analyze ♥∞¶✔the source, nature and therapeutic regimen of th♠→≤αe tumor.

The difficulty of the operation lied in tקhe necessary removal of the entire tumor£≈ε using large incision to maintain••λ  its completeness. While th×₹≤e huge tumor was taken o©βφut from the abdominal cavity all of a ↔φ$&sudden, the pressure inside Ω∏the abdominal cavity would u→₽₹ndergo abrupt change causing unsteady hemodynamiφ₩cs, and Ms. T as a diabetic patient, would experi♦'αence ketosis or ketoacidosis induce•§ d by the huge wounds.

Therefore, after full communicaβ‌tion on the patient’s α↓×condition and operative risk bet•$ ♠ween the expert team of Kaiyi Hospital and Ms<♦∞'. T and her family, Ms. T acceptedγ÷→↑ the decision of not being transferred to a hospδσ§ital of higher lever, fully confiding in our  ↕ hospital, showing faith in tγ​he medical skill of Dr. Han and ♣‌ the comprehensive power of Kaiyi Hospitδ↔λ§al, and giving full supp•✘€ort to our treatment! Based on the patient’s cond÷♦γ€ition, our hospital made an operative sc∞¥βheme and a risk emer§÷α gency plan.

On January 14, after co±‍♣εmpleting the relevant pre♥↕&•operative examinations and prepa☆↕rations, acting as operating surgeδ≤'↕on, Dr. Han performed the reseφ♣φ"ction of a huge tumor from the abdo×✘minal and pelvic cavity under ε←∑general anesthesia. Adhered and fixe ≥↓d to the surrounding tissues, the huge pe∞•‍βlvic masses were located in a deep place. C♥φ≈ooperating jointly, experts from Gynecolog₽₹↔y, Surgery and Anesthesiology ac♠™ted calmly and finally s ®πucceeded in removing the tumor masses, which we$™★re later submitted for frozen ♥±♥pathological examination with the↓↔ result reported as the"¥ca cell tumor. After the hysterectomy ←☆£and bilateral uterine adne™≈‌₽xectomy, the operation ended smoot↕±hly.

This medical case of illness is worthy o&≥§↕f the attention among ♠✔the whole society since many wome♦≠↕n hold the wrong view that in menopaus£®γe, they will not suffer from gynecological dis∑∞eases thus weakening∑₩δ™ their awareness of gynecological health.
