Abstract
Cystic abdominal tumors are extremely common. Now a day they are diagnosed more frequently and
much earlier due to availability of better imaging modalities. Presentation of large ovarian cysts has become
rare as most of them are diagnosed and treated early. Still we get reports of patients with large/giant
benign abdominal cysts and many of them are serous cyst adenoma of ovary. Mucinous cyst adenomas
(MCAs) of the ovary are known for their potential to grow to massive proportions and are often incidentally
diagnosed. They are typically benign tumors accounting for 15% of ovarian neoplasm's and up to 80% of
all mucinous tumors. Sometimes, it becomes very difficult to identify the source of these cysts and are
misdiagnosed as mesenteric cyst. Final diagnosis is only possible at laparotomy. Here we report a case of
Giant ovarian cysts in an octogenarian female, weighing 27 kgs.
