Abstract:

A 37-year-old woman developed abdominal distension, ascites and bilateral ovarian symmetrical ovarian cysts 5 days after ovulation induction treatment and progressed after anti-ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome therapy for about 1 month. The bilateral ovarian tumors have changed from cystic to cystic-solid. CT-guided puncture and pathological examination of solid tissue inside the ovarian tumor showed adenocarcinoma. The exploratory laparotomy and pathology revealed bilateral ovarian Kukenbergs derived from poorly differentiated constricted colon adenocarcinoma. The patient receives 6 cycles of systemic chemotherapy of oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), bevacizumab plus capecitabine regimen and is alive now with no recurrence. The rapid progress of bilateral ovarian Kukenberg tumors after ovulation induction is rare. Here, we report this case and review the potential pathogenic risks of assisted reproductive technology on primary ovarian malignancies and the impact on the growth of metastatic ovarian malignancies.
