| Popis: | This case regards a morbidly obese lady presenting with a massive ovarian tumour herniating through the umbilicus. Six months previously she had suffered from a life-threatening pulmonary embolus requiring supportive ventilation at the same hospital. Herniation of the ovary directly into the umbilicus is very rare and here we provide pictoral evidence and advice regarding the management of this patient. |
