46-Year-Old Beats High-Grade Ovarian Cancer - KIMS Hospitals Thane
A 46-year-old woman, diagnosed with high-grade serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary, has made a successful recovery after undergoing a complex and extensive surgery at KIMS Hospitals, Thane under the care of Dr. Anil Heroor, Director – Surgical Oncology.
The patient, who had been experiencing irregular menses for 2–3 years, was found to have a large multiloculated cystic-solid ovarian mass extending up to the supraumbilical region, along with a suspicious lesion near the liver. With a history of hypothyroidism, uterine fibroid, and two previous C-sections, her case posed significant surgical challenges.
After detailed imaging (USG, PET CT, MRI), the patient was taken up for surgery. The procedure included:
● Right Adnexal Mass Excision – Frozen section confirmed high-grade serous adenocarcinoma.
● Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Left Salpingo-oophorectomy – Removal of uterus, left ovary, and fallopian tube.
● Bilateral Pelvic and Paraaortic Lymph Node Dissection – To check for lymphatic spread.
● Omentectomy – Removal of the omentum due to nodular disease.
● Removal of the peritoneumfor clearance
The surgery was uneventful, and the patient tolerated it well. Post-operatively, she was carefully monitored, received supportive care, and was discharged in stable condition on the 5th post-operative day.
Speaking about the case, Dr. Anil Heroor, Director – Surgical Oncology, KIMS Hospitals Thane, said:
“Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed late and requires meticulous surgical planning and execution for the best possible outcomes. In this case, timely intervention, advanced surgical techniques, and a team-based approach helped us achieve a successful result.
