Collision tumors are rare neoplasms defined by the presence of two distant tumors in the same organ without any histological intermixing. Ovarian tumors are often asymptomatic during the early stages and become symptomatic when increased in size causing vague abdominal pain, abdominal distention, vomiting, and frequent urination. We report here a case of a 28-year-old female who presented with a history of worsening abdominal pain and distension. An abdominopelvic ultrasound scan showed a huge complex mass occupying the pelvic area with non-visualization of the left ovary suggesting an ovarian origin; further characterization by cross-sectional imaging by both CT and MRI were performed confirming a left ovarian complex mass containing multiseptated cystic and fat component at the same time along with massive ascites. After surgical resection of the mass, histopathology revealed mucinous cystadenoma coexisting with cystic teratoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
