Ovarian Teratoma - Ovarian Torsion - Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Update Course 2015
80% of ovarian masses are teratomas
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan1:25 ↗
In the year 2000, girls with ovarian germ cell tumors have almost 100% survival
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan1:50 ↗
Stage one ovarian tumors limited to the ovary now receive only oophorectomy without chemotherapy
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan2:14 ↗
Microscopic residual and lymph node involvement in ovarian tumors require chemotherapy
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan2:26 ↗
25% of girls with ovarian germ cell tumors will be missed if peritoneal cytology and washings are not performed
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan3:16 ↗
If staging procedures are omitted from the operative report, oncologists will treat ovarian tumors as stage 2
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan3:54 ↗
Gliomatosis peritonei is a benign disease appearance associated with ovarian teratomas with nearly 100% survival
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan4:41 ↗
In bilateral ovarian disease, tumors larger than 10 cm should definitely be biopsied
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan5:37 ↗
If an ovarian tumor is ruptured during laparoscopic removal, the patient is committed to chemotherapy including platinum
clinicalDan7:11 ↗
15% of ovarian tumors in adolescents are epithelial tumors with different staging criteria than germ cell tumors
epidemiologicalDan7:19 ↗
If alpha-fetoprotein and beta-HCG levels are normal preoperatively, there is some comfort about draining a cyst without contamination
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan8:07 ↗
The salvage rate for recurrent ovarian germ cell tumors is almost 100% because chemotherapy is very effective
clinicalDan12:15 ↗
Ovarian torsion is an urgent but not emergent situation if the goal is to preserve the ovary
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan13:40 ↗
Many black-colored ovaries from torsion have viable follicles and ovarian preservation should be the goal
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan13:40 ↗
76% of ovaries removed for torsion had normal ovarian tissue, only 13% had no ovarian tissue, and only 11% were completely necrotic
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan15:44 ↗
Pain after oophoropexy is usually short-lived and resolves in about a week
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan16:34 ↗
The ability to preserve ovarian function after torsion is related to age, with pediatric patients having more active follicles than older adults
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan16:58 ↗
Ultrasound Doppler for ovarian torsion has sensitivity and specificity in the 50-60% range
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan21:03 ↗
Blood flow on ultrasound does not exclude torsion because the ovary may be twisted but not completely occluded at that moment in time
host_summaryTodd Ponsky22:35 ↗
Half of soft tissue sarcomas are rhabdomyosarcomas and half are non-rhabdo sarcomas
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan25:58 ↗
Abdominal, pelvic, and retroperitoneal rhabdomyosarcomas have the worst survival while orbital rhabdomyosarcomas have the best survival
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan26:22 ↗
Even small tumors in the extremity or abdomen can only achieve stage 2 at best (not stage 1) in rhabdomyosarcoma staging
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan27:04 ↗
Surgical extent determines clinical group in rhabdomyosarcoma: group 1 is complete resection, group 2 is microscopic residual, group 3 is biopsy only
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan27:15 ↗
Group 1 and 2 rhabdomyosarcoma patients have excellent prognosis while group 3 patients do more poorly
clinicalAndrea Hayes Jordan27:27 ↗
Inability to resect a large rhabdomyosarcoma is a biologic determination, not a reflection of surgical skill, and aggressive resection with high morbidity will not improve outcome
opinionAndrea Hayes Jordan27:44 ↗
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is now required for all trunk and extremity rhabdomyosarcomas
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan29:15 ↗
For rhabdomyosarcoma, completion node dissection is not performed for positive sentinel nodes; radiation therapy is given instead
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan29:31 ↗
Sentinel lymph node mapping for rhabdomyosarcoma should be performed at the time of re-excision if initial excisional biopsy had positive margins
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan30:10 ↗
40-50% of biopsied lymph nodes are positive in rhabdomyosarcoma, and clinically negative nodes may also be positive
epidemiologicalAndrea Hayes Jordan30:36 ↗
Histologic grade is now critical in non-rhabdo soft tissue sarcomas, not just the diagnosis
guidelineAndrea Hayes Jordan31:00 ↗
