Massive ovarian mucinous cystadenoma with torsion: A surgical wonder

Mucinous cystadenomas are some of the commonly encountered ovarian tumors, having huge size which causes pain, pressure, distension, genito urinary symptoms etc. Eventually, these tumors are prone to life threatening complications, like hemorrhage or torsion. These cases may remain asymptomatic for a long period of time. For further diagnosis of symptomatic patients clinical examinations and radiological investigations can be used and help the surgeon in deciding management. We hereby report a case involving a very large mucinous cystadenoma, measuring 25 × 24 centimeter with torsion. The data presented here contains details post admission of this patient in casualty to discharge of the patient, such as (a) clinical history (b) physical examination, (c) laboratory reports, (d) radiological investigations, (e) surgical evaluation, (f) histo pathology reports. These Mucinous cystadenomas constitute a comparatively smaller percentage of cases that can present with pain in abdomen due to an ovarian cause. Here, a huge mucinous ovarian cystadenoma had been found pressing on the abdominal contents leading to a variety of symptoms. The aim is to establish the value of detailed diagnosis and timely surgical treatment of these ovarian tumors as well as to signify the potential fatal outcomes.
