Ovarian tumors can get extremely giant to occupy the whole abdominal cavity. We report a case of 36 kg solid ovarian tumor, which was the largest ovarian solid tumor that have been ever reported. A 54-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of markedly distended abdominal wall. Preoperative imaging examinations revealed that most of the tumor was uniform and its density was like that of subcutaneous fat. Pleural effusion was detected in the right thoracic region. We organized a multidisciplinary team and successfully resected the right adnexa. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, and she was discharged on the 7th postoperative day and diagnosed with a fibroma of the ovary with Meigs syndrome. A comprehensive literature search revealed 48 cases of extremely giant ovarian tumor in these 20 years. Six out of 48 cases are solid. Twelve out of 48 cases are malignant or borderline malignant, and patients’ age and tumor size/weight were not related to the frequency of malignancy/borderline malignancy. As many as 4 out of 48 patients died before their first hospital visit or early after surgery. Clinicians should consider a considerable high mortality and frequency of severe surgical complications when planning the treatment strategy for extremely giant ovarian tumors.

AimWe investigated the frequency of early recurrence of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (VaIN 2/3) (within 2 years) after hysterectomy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3). The characteristics of the clinicopathological factors common to them were explored including different surgical methods.MethodsAs a retrospective observational study, a total of 647 CIN3 patients were divided into a conization and hysterectomy group (C group, n = 492; H group, n = 155), and HSIL (CIN2/3 or VaIN2/3) recurrence within 2 years after surgery was evaluated. A stratified analyses was performed. Surgical methods were divided into trans‐abdominal, trans‐vaginal, and laparoscopic.ResultsThe recurrence of VaIN3 was detected in four cases (2.6%) in the H group, which was similar to that of CIN2/3 in the C group, 12 out of 491 patients (2.4%). The patients who developed VaIN3 were significantly older than those who did not (median, VaIN3: 71.0; VaIN1 and less: 48.0; p < 0.0001). All VaIN3 cases were detected within 5 months, although majority of cases were negative in the margin (3/4 cases; margin negative). The method of hysterectomy was not related to the VaIN3 recurrence.ConclusionFor CIN3 patients for whom hysterectomy is the main treatment, VaIN3 can develop in 2.6% within very shortly after operation even if surgical margin was negative. The elder the age, the higher the risk of early recurrence could be. Laparoscopic surgery is considered to be acceptable methods of hysterectomy.
