Giant mucinous cystadenomas of the ovary are seldom documented in literature within developed countries, primarily due to the widespread availability of diagnostic technologies. However, in developing nations, such situations pose a challenge owing to limited access to diagnostic tools and constrained resources. Herein, we present the case of 35-year-old women, who reported a three-year history of a progressively enlarging giant mucinous cystadenoma which was initially mistaken for obesity, accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, and was not diagnosed during the cesarean section performed three weeks prior to the significant increase in size. Cystectomy performed, the resected cyst measured 25x23x17 cm, with no evidence of ascites. Subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of mucinous cystadenoma. The patient experienced a complete postoperative recovery without any complications. Notably, the presence of vague gastrointestinal symptoms unrelated to the actual diagnosis underscores the importance of considering giant ovarian cysts as a potential differential diagnosis for ambiguous abdominal symptoms, given the varied clinical presentations they may manifest. This case underscores the necessity for multidisciplinary collaboration among various specialists to facilitate early diagnosis. Furthermore, it emphasizes the indispensable role of histopathological examination in ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of ovarian cysts.

Although ovarian mucinous cystadenoma has a benign growth, it can grow to be very large. We present the case of a 70-year-old patient who came to the clinic for recurrent and diffuse abdominal pain. On physical examination, a large mass was palpated that occupied the entire abdominal cavity, up to the xiphoid appendix, rounded, retentive, with defined edges, non- painful, non-movable. Presence of edema in lower limbs. During the surgical act, a myomatous uterus and a giant left ovarian cyst measuring approximately 40 x3 0 cm and weighing 13.6 kg were identified. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of benign ovarian mucinous cystadenoma and uterine leiomyomatosis. The postoperative period progressed favorably. The incidence of giant ovarian cystadenoma is relatively unknown due to the lack of a standardized concept and currently available advanced imaging modalities. Keywords: Ovary, Ovarian cysts, Mucinous cystadenoma, Ovarian neoplasms.

This case report presents a unique and unprecedented occurrence of mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary accompanied by xanthogranulomatous oophoritis, a rare inflammatory condition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of its kind in the medical literature. The patient, a 25-year-old woman, presented with abdominal pain, fever, and discomfort, prompting further investigation that led to the unexpected discovery of these coexisting pathologies.
