Abstract:
:Five cases of relapsing acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) presenting as an ovarian tumor have been treated at this institution, representing the largest reported series. In a review of the literature we identified 18 additional cases of ovarian leukemic relapse. Together, these 23 patients form the basis for this report. Abdominal pain is the most common presenting symptom of ovarian leukemia. An abdominal mass is usually palpable, and at least four patients had hydronephrosis. Nine patients had documented bilateral ovarian involvement; however, bilateral disease was not a poor prognostic sign. Most ovarian relapses occurred more than 36 months after the original diagnosis of ALL, with these "late'h relapsers responding more favorably to treatment than "early" relapsers. Definitive statements can not be made from a retrospective review of 23 case reports; however, salpingooophorectomy had no obvious advantage over simple biopsy, and there was no obvious advantage to the routine use of radiation therapy. Most failures in treating ovarian leukemia occurred within 2 years. Most failures were systemic rather than local, illustrating the need for aggressive multiagent systemic chemotherapy. Survival after ovarian leukemic relapse is possible, with eight of the 23 patients alive and in complete continuous remission following the ovarian relapse (median follow-up since relapse, 42 months; range, 2 to 135+ months). With the use of more intensive chemotherapy in recent protocols, the frequency of ovarian leukemic relapses appears to be decreasing. At this institution, no child with ALL diagnosed in the 1980s has subsequently developed an ovarian relapse.
