Summary
As the family recalls the physician's explanation: an ovarian cancer that was hard to localize, found in the uterus rather than in the ovaries, producing ascites whose fluid was already causing a pleural effusion. Surgery to remove the ovaries and the surrounding tissue was suggested, with a biopsy after the operation.
Documented findings
Family recollection of a verbal explanation: cancer of ovarian origin barely localizable, located in the uterus (outside the ovaries); it causes ascites and the fluid already produces a pleural effusion; surgery suggested to remove the ovaries and surroundings, with a post-operative biopsy.
Uncertainty
This is the family's recollection of what a physician said, not a written diagnosis. The physician, the date, and whether «localizable en útero» reflects the physician's words or the family's understanding are not established. The written IMSS summary of 2022 records stage IV ovarian cancer by pleural effusion, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and a laparoscopy on 17 October 2020.
