A Giant Ovarian Cystadenoma in A 20-Year-Old Nulliparous Woman: A Case Report

Abstract

Giant ovarian cyst itself is defined as a cyst >10 cm in diameter from radiological- examination or the size of the cyst exceeds the umbilicus. Extra-large benign and malignant cysts of the ovary are uncommon and involve diagnostic and management challenges. We present the case of a 20-year-old nulliparous woman who was referred to our center with complaints of abdominal pain and heavy breathing. She benefited from a salphingo-oophorectomy laparotomy procedure. Benign and malignant gynecologic and non-gynecologic etiologies are included in the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass. Because of the infrequent occurrence or absence of distinctive clinical presentation of the giant ovarian cyst, accurate preoperative diagnosis is challenging.

A giant 25 litre volume ovarian cystic mucinous borderline ovarian tumour with intraepithelial carcinoma in a 24-year-old nulliparous woman: Case report

“…Although ovarian cysts are seen in children, girls and women of all ages, giant ovarian cysts have become uncommon in contemporary gynaecology [ 1 ]. This is attributable to more regular physical examination by women; better, easily accessible imaging techniques and promptness to seek help with abdominal discomfort, pain or distension [ 1 ].…”

“…Ovarian cysts are defined by their sizes and histopathological composition. Giant ovarian cyst are cysts >10 cm in diameter on radiological assessment [ 1 ]. Clinically, a cyst palpable above the umbilicus is defined as a giant ovarian cyst.…”

“…Large cysts are usually rare and usually pose diagnostic challenges especially in adolescents and young adults. Serous tumors are the most common cystic neoplasms of the ovary, 60 % of which are benign serous cystadenoma [ 1 , 2 ]. Surgical management is the preferred treatment for extra-large ovarian cysts [ 2 , 3 ].…”

“You’re Just Fat”: A 36 cm Cyst Causing an Ovarian Torsion in a Twenty-Year-Old Woman After Presenting Symptoms of Concern to her Doctor for Years—A Case Report

“…An ovarian cyst is a common condition with a wide range of etiologies, particularly among premenopausal women [1]. The majority of these cysts are asymptomatic and resolve spontaneously; however, those measuring over 10 cm are considered large [2].…”

Surgical Resection of Bilateral Polycystic Ovaries Causing Ureteral Obstruction

“…1 Giant ovarian cysts are defined as cysts larger than 10 cm in diameter on imaging or if the size of the cyst exceeds the umbilicus. 2 With these, the likelihood of needing surgical intervention is higher. We present a case of a 14-year-old female with giant bilateral adnexal cysts causing ureteral obstruction which was successfully treated with cystectomy with preservation of ovarian tissue.…”
