Abdominopelvic Tuberculosis with a Frozen Section Analysis Consistent with Ovarian Cancer

Pelvic tuberculosis is a type of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The disease is accompanied by clinical and laboratory findings which may be unspecific and present aspects of other diseases, including gynecological malignancies. In this report, the authors presented a case of pelvic tuberculosis associated with peritoneal tuberculosis in a young woman exhibiting imaging and tumor markers consistent with ovarian neoplasm. An intraoperative frozen section analysis detected atypical cells that were suggestive of ovarian borderline or malignant epithelial neoplasia. The pathological analysis showed granulomatous inflammation in the right ovary and fallopian tube with a pattern of mycobacteriosis that was consistent with the presence of mycobacteria morphologically compatible with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient had a complete remission after the use of antituberculosis drugs.

Section Analysis

We report a 48-year-old fit and healthy woman who was incidentally diagnosed to have adenocarcinoma of gallbladder after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Subsequent imaging showed no evidence of regional or distant spread. She was scheduled for elective laparotomy and resection of gallbladder bed, but during laparotomy frozen section analysis of an incidentally discovered peritoneal deposit confirmed metastasis, so the procedure was abandoned. Thereafter, she received cisplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy. However, surveillance computed tomography incidentally noted a urinary bladder mass which had not been present before. Transurethral resection of the bladder lesion revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of urinary bladder. The appearance and immunoprofile of the lesion confirmed metastasis from the primary gallbladder cancer, which has not been documented in the literature to the best of our knowledge. Her disease progressed and she is being challenged with gemcitabine and carboplatin as second-line palliative chemotherapy. She is still alive two years after the initial diagnosis.
