Zusammenfassung: | In comparison with the general population, women with bleeding disorders are more prone to develop obstetrical and gynecological problems. However, no comprehensive evaluation has investigated the prevalence of hemorrhagic ovarian cysts (HOCs) in rare bleeding disorders (RBDs). In this study, we sought to determine the prevalence of HOCs in a large cohort of Iranian patients with RBDs.
A total of 210 symptomatic patients suspected of HOCs with RBD were included. The median age of the study population was 24 years. Patients were diagnosed with fibrinogen disorders (n = 7, 3%), factor (F) II (n = 4, 2%), FV (n = 28, 13%), FVII (n = 4, 2%), FX (n = 6, 3%), FXIII (n = 122, 58%), combined FV and FVIII (n = 8, 4%), Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (n = 10, 5%), and von Willebrand disease (VWD) type 3 (n = 21, 10%).
Following further clinical and ultrasound examinations of these 210 patients, 68 (32.4%) were confirmed with a diagnosis of HOCs. Of which, FXIII deficiency with 46 cases (67.6%), followed by VWD type 3 (6 cases, 8.8%) showed the highest number. Other coagulation defects associated with HOCs were including fibrinogen deficiency (n = 2, 3%), FII (n = 2, 3%), FV (n = 4, 6%), FVII (n = 2, 3%), FX (n = 1, 1.5%), combined FV and FVIII (n = 2, 3%), and Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (n = 3, 4.5%).
This study found a high prevalence of HOCs in patients with RBDs, indicating the importance of early diagnosis and optimal management of obstetric and gynecological complications in these patients. |
