PATIENT
SMITH, Susan
DATE TO BE ADMITTED
MAY 9, 2019
CHIEF COMPLAINT
Right ovarian cyst
HISTORY OF PRESENT
ILLNESS
Susan is a 34-year-old Caucasian female who had a routine
examination on April 21, 2018, at which time the examination
revealed the right ovary to be approximately two to three
times normal size. Otherwise, all was normal. The Pap smear
performed at the time revealed atypical cells of undetermined
significance. The patient returned for a colposcopy, and this
revealed what appeared to be squamous epithelial lesions CIN
I-II. Biopsies were performed which revealed chronic cervicitis
and no evidence of CIN. The patient was placed on Lo-Ovral
for two cycles and then was rechecked. The right ovary
continued to enlarge and got to the point where it was
approximately 4 x 5 cm, floating anteriorly in the pelvis, and
was fairly firm to palpation. A pelvic ultrasound confirmed the
clinical findings. Superior to the right adnexa was a 4 x 5 cm
mass, possibly with haemorrhage into either a paraovarian
cyst or a dermoid cyst. The patient is to be admitted now for
an exploratory laparotomy.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
The patient had the usual childhood diseases and has had
good health as an adult.
Previous Surgery
The patient had a Hymenotomy and dilatation and curettage
in 2006.
Menstrual History
Menstrual cycle is 28 days, averaging a three to six day flow.
