In this paper, we describe a case of ovarian vein thrombosis following laparoscopic hysterectomy and obturator tension-free vaginal tape surgery. Clinical presentation included spiking fever and lower abdominal pain. The diagnosis was made using computed tomography scanning with contrast material. Therapy consisted of broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin. This is a rare case of ovarian vein thrombosis following laparoscopic hysterectomy. We believe that such a thrombotic complication should be considered when evaluating a patient with spiking fevers and abdominal pain, even after minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic hysterectomy.

The sonographic 'onion skin' sign was initially described as concentric echogenic layers in mucinous tumors unrelated to the female reproductive system. Typically, the sonographic appearance of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma includes numerous septa and fine, gravity-dependent echoes. We present a case of the 'onion skin' sign in a mucinous ovarian tumor. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 2013 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
