Objective: Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) after adnexectomy is usually asymptomatic, and pulmonary embolism (PE) has not been reported following this type of OVT. We present the case of a patient with symptomatic OVT after bilateral adnexectomy who experienced PE. Case report: A 52-year-old woman underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy for early stage endometrial cancer. On the 12th postoperative day, she presented with a fever of 38.7 °C. Computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral OVT. Anticoagulant and antibacterial therapy was initiated; after five days, the fever subsided. On the 19th postoperative day, CT revealed a decrement in OVT; however, PE was observed. By the 60th postoperative day, PE disappeared. No deep vein thromboses were detected at any time. Conclusion: This case highlights that OVT, even after adnexectomy, can cause symptoms and PE can occur after this type of OVT. Anticoagulation therapy may be considered in such cases. |
