Abstract
Ovarian
tumour is not a single entity, but a complex wide spectrum of neoplasms
involving a variety of histological tissues. The most common are the
epithelial tumours forming 80 % of all tumours. 80% are benign tumours,
10% borderline malignant and 8-10% malignant. Mucinous tumours represent
about 8-10% of the epithelial tumours, they may reach enormous size
filling the entire abdominal cavity.1 Here we would like to present a
case of huge benign mucinous cystadenoma in a 50 year old female where
the patient could not access medical care, and presented with huge
tumour which lead to breathlessness and responded remarkably to surgical
excision. The patient could go back to her normal life following the
procedure.
Key words: Huge benign mucinous cystadenoma, Mucinous cystadenoma
