BACKGROUND: To evaluate in a series of @entity1 with @entity43 the clinical findings and the outcome after laparoscopic management. METHODS: Retrospective study of 25 @entity1 with @entity43 first treated by laparoscopic approach. RESULTS: Thirteen @entity1 had mucinous @entity5 and 12 had @entity5 . Twenty-one @entity1 had ultrasound examination which detected 24 @entity42 including @entity45 in 50% of cases and unilocular sonolucent cysts in 25% of cases. The serum @entity10224 and CA 199 levels were elevated in 30.7% and 23% respectively. Among the 25 @entity1 first treated by laparoscopic approach, 24 had stage I disease: six of them had cystectomy, seven unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, two bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and two laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Seven @entity1 had laparoconversion for presumption of @entity43 (5) and failure of laparoscopic procedure (2). One @entity1 with @entity5 had laparoscopic biopsies and subsequent laparotomy. Among the 25 @entity1 , 15 had conservative treatment and 10 had radical treatment. Three recurrences occurred after cystectomy. The mean follow-up was 41 months. Twenty-three @entity1 were alive without evidence of disease, one died of intercurrent disease and one @entity1 was lost to follow-up. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the laparoscopic approach to @entity43 is possible in early stage disease but associated with a high risk of recurrence after cystectomy.

Management and outcome of XXXX incidentally discovered at or after laparoscopy.
