  We report a case where hemostatic fleece (TachoSil) was misinterpreted as residual disease on imaging after macro-radical surgery for ovarian cancer. Laparotomy was performed on a 51 year-old woman due to ovariancancer. At surgery, carcinomatosis was identified on the diaphragm with growth intothe diaphragmatic muscle. Total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingooophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, diaphragmatic peritonectomy, appendectomy and resection of sigmoid colon were performed. During surgery an incidental small liver lesion occurred and hemostatic fleece was applied for hemostasis. Total cytoreduction was achieved. The pathology report demonstrated stage IV serous ovarian cancer (grade III). The patient was therefore referred to the Department of oncology for six series of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin. A baseline CT scan revealed an area above the liver initi.. Read More»
