CTICasesDiaphragmatic hernia
Imaging findings
Chest radiograph and CT show a focal contour abnormality of the left hemidiaphragm with herniation of abdominal contents into the left lung base, which developed post-operatively following extensive surgical debulking and diaphragmatic resection for ovarian cancer.
Key takeaways
Surgical debulking and peritonectomy for ovarian cancer often require resection of implants on the diaphragm, which can lead to iatrogenic diaphragmatic injuries or hernias that present as focal diaphragmatic elevation or masses on follow-up imaging.
