Abstract

High incidence of deep venous thrombosis after radical pelvic surgery is well known. Among gynecologic malignancies, ovarian cancer, especially clear cell adenocarcinoma is likely to develop thromboembolism. We report 2 cases of pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis in ovarian clear cell carcinoma with endometriosis and history of IVF-ET during cislatin-irinotecan chemotherapy following the surgery.
