A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of sudden onset of weakness on the left side of her body. Her medical history was unremarkable, and on physical examination, hemiparesis and hyperreflexia on the left side were found. MRI of the brain showed multiple areas of restricted diffusion in both parietal lobes and in the cerebellum, consistent with embolic shower. Magnetic resonance angiography showed no abnormal findings. A contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed multiple pulmonary emboli. Abdominal MRI showed a 135 mm left ovarian tumour composed of a solid and a cystic component with liquid level formation. After a total hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy, the histopathology confirmed a seromucinous borderline tumour. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with Trousseau’s syndrome associated with an ovarian seromucinous borderline tumour. To our knowledge, this is the first report mentioning a borderline ovarian tumour detected as Trousseau’s syndrome.

We describe an ovarian borderline tumour that presented as an acute deterioration in an incisional hernia secondary to intraperitoneal mucin accumulation. The differential diagnosis associated with hernial sac contents and options for opportunistic diagnosis are discussed. This case raises awareness of potential serious diagnoses that may be overlooked during emergent hernia repair.

This article reports the case of a 40 year old woman who presented to the gynaecologic outpatient clinic with pain lower abdomen and an abdominopelvic lump. Clinical assessment, biochemical and radiological investigations revealed bilateral complex ovarian masses. Surgical exploration and histology of ovarian masses confirmed a rare bilateral borderline seromucinous cystadenoma. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of thorough examination of women with symptoms of ovarian tumour which can be vague and to emphasize the necessity of a good collaboration between various medical specialties (primary physician/gynaecologist, oncosurgeon, radiologist and histopathologist) for correct diagnosis, optimum care and best outcome. This article also provides overview of the pathology and biology of borderline ovarian tumours, diagnosis, principles of surgical management and to appreciate the value of follow up.
