In developing countries, many women with huge ovarian tumors only seek consultation when the tumor has become very large. Most cases are benign, and only a few cases were reported to be malignant. This case report presents a case of huge malignant ovarian tumor with a final diagnosis of stage III epithelial ovarian cancer. The tumor was completely removed. The huge malignant ovarian tumor in this case report was completely excisable. CASE REPORT: A 43-year-old woman visited the tertiary hospital in Surabaya Indonesia in early September 2020 with a complaint of an enlarged abdomen. The patients had 3 children and normal menstrual periods. Her bowel function was normal. The patient started to notice the abdominal enlargement at 3 months prior to seeking treatment. Ultrasound examination showed a unilocular cystic mass with a diameter of >25 cm, and a solid nodule with normal vascularity was seen. No ascites was noted. Histopathologic examination showed an ovarian mass weighing 9700 g with a size of 30×28×14 cm. The final result showed that the tumor was malignant; specifically, the tumor was a sero-mucinous adenocarcinoma of the left ovary, grade II, which had metastasized to the omentum. CONCLUSIONS: Huge malignant ovarian tumors tend to be at an early stage when the diagnosis is made, and they are completely excisable.
