Mega large ovarian mucinous cystadenoma!

This is a common slow-growing epithelial ovarian tumor that in most cases has low malignancy potential, hence being benign. They are not cancerous and do not spread or metastasize and usually presents as a single mass within the ovary, or can occur as multiple masses within a single ovary. Due to its huge size, the patient experiences symptoms, such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and increased abdominal size. Although the condition is extremely rare, it is a potentially dangerous in its massive form if not timely diagnosed by imaging studies (ultrasound, CT, biopsy of a specimen) and managed properly by surgery.Complications of that huge tumor includes rupture of cyst within the abdomen, or torsion of the ovary. Therefore, they must be surgically excised on time.
