| Summary: | Serous Ovarian Cystadenomas usually present as
bilateral small to medium size intra-abdominal mass.
Massive intra-abdominal masses are commonly
mucinous cystadenomas or mesenteric cysts. Patients
with massive intra-abdominal masses present with
pain in abdomen and symptoms of discomfort due to
the huge swelling. Postural hypotension, intestinal
obstruction, cardio respiratory embarrassment is few
other presenting symptoms. Asymptomatic intraabdominal
massive tumors are unusual. We report a
case of a female with a massive intra-abdominal mass
with clinical suspicion of mesenteric cyst or ovarian
mass. Huge intra-abdominal mass with no symptoms
of cardiovascular compromise and difficulty in
pinpointing the organ of origin preoperatively make
this case interesting. |
