Overview
- The 69-year-old patient was admitted to Ospedale Sant’Anna in mid-December after sudden intestinal symptoms raised concern.
- Imaging identified an approximately 28-centimeter ovarian mass weighing about 6 kilograms, with a volume likened to a term twin pregnancy.
- A concurrent sigmoid lesion was compressing the colon and was addressed with intraoperative endoscopy followed by intestinal radicalization.
- Preoperative radiology guided the surgical approach and intraoperative pathology confirmed neoplastic disease in both the ovary and the colon.
- Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino presented the case as a rare demonstration of how integrated services can handle complex oncologic emergencies.
