In connection with this incident, there are several risk factors associated and the symptoms that occur are usually common such as gastrointestinal symptoms, urinary frequency, and constituent symptoms so that a proper diagnosis is needed by doing anamnesis, physical examination and supporting examinations. Supporting examinations can be done by ultrasound, MRI, X-rays and blood tests with tumor markers CA-125 where in malignant ovarian tumors, the tumor marker CA-125 increases, which is >35 IU/ml.
