POCUS in the diagnosis of a giant bilateral ovarian tumor: A case report.

Abstract

We present the case of a 29-year-old female with no significant past medical history who presented with a 3-day history of abdominal pain in the mesogastric region, associated with nausea. Physical examination revealed tachycardia and a large, mobile, and tender mass in the mesogastric region. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) with a convex transducer revealed a 13 cm diameter, non-septated mass with no internal vasculature, suggestive of a bilateral ovarian tumor. An abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of a giant bilateral ovarian tumor. The patient underwent surgery and had an uncomplicated bilateral oophorectomy. The histopathological study reported a benign ovarian tumor, compatible with struma ovarii.
