Abstract

MURUZABAL, J.C.; AGUIRRE, S.; ARANDA, S.  and  ELIZALDE, F.J.. Emergencies in oncological gynaecology. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2009, vol.32, suppl.1, pp.7-18. ISSN 1137-6627.

This article describes the signs for suspecting neoplasia that lead the patient to come to the Accident and Emergency Service, concentrating on genital bleeding, pelvic mass and vulvar pruritus. Patients can also come due to processes resulting from complications of the disease, such as urethral obstruction, carcinomatosis, ascites, thromboembolic processes, haemorrhages, constipation, nausea and vomiting, intestinal obstruction and pain. Finally, we describe complications that are secondary to the treatment, such as abdominal and inguinal lymphocele and post-radiotherapy enteritis and proctitis.

Keywords : Oncological complications; Oncological emergencies; Thromboembolic disease; Adnexal mass; Postmenopausal bleeding.
