“…After sudden abdominal decompression, there is a potential risk of cardiorespiratory failure due to the paradoxical movement of the thinned diaphragm, laxity of the abdominal wall, changes in abdominal vascular tone, and postoperative pain. Altered mechanics of ventilation may cause life-threatening pulmonary edema [ 9 , 10 ]. Additionally, after removing the giant ovarian cysts there is a risk of fatal intestinal distension due to the placement of the intestine in a redundant abdominal cavity.…”

Serous cyst adenomas account for about 40% of all ovarian tumors and most commonly are diagnosed in middle-aged women. The aim of this publication is to present an extremely rare case of mammoth bilateral cyst adenomas in a postmenopausal woman, occupying the pelvis and the most of abdominal cavity. A 67-year-old obese woman was presented to our emergency department with abdominal pain. Ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen verified two huge cystic masses. Exploration of the abdominal cavity by laparotomy established two intact giant cystic masses with ovarian origin. The cysts were removed by bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed that both cystic masses were ovarian serous cyst adenomas. The woman was discharged with an uneventful recovery. We present a case of the largest gigantic bilateral ovarian cyst adenomas in the oldest woman ever reported.

Benign serous cystadenomas represent 16% of all ovarian epithelial neoplasms, and account for up to two-thirds of epithelial tumors of the ovary. They are commonly encountered after the 3rd decade of life and in the later decades, due to the slow growth nature over lifetime. These tumors may begin as small unilocular subcentimeter lesions, but may expand to fill the entire abdominal cavity. This may present with mass effect to surrounding tissues and organs, and lead to sequela of compartment syndrome of the peritoneal cavity. We present a case series of surgical evaluation and management of extremely enlarged serous cystadenomas of the ovary (>30 cm) encountered in an atypical age presentation, with the first case involving a 19 year old who had a known 6 cm cyst four years prior, who presented to emergency room (ER) with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms secondary to the tumors mass effect, imaging demonstrating a massive tumor, subsequently requiring surgical dissection. The second case demonstrates a 25 year old with known cyst (>20 cm) two years prior who presented with even larger effect (close to 40 cm size) and worsening symptoms due to the tumors mass effect requiring removal. In both cases, patients presented to emergency room with acute symptoms, exploratory laparotomy was required for complete evacuation of lesion and for resolution of symptoms.
