Abstract

Benign, mucinous cystadenomatas account for 15% all ovarian neoplasms and of these, giant variants occur rarely. Ovarian masses, particularly mucinous cystadenomas, are among the largest tumours known. Surgery is the treatment of choice for a large mucinous cystadenoma. In this report we present an interesting case of an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma weighing 40 kg. Surgical treatment was successful and the patient adjusted well to her postoperative body image.
