description | Abdominal cystic tumors are highly prevalent. Due to the availability of superior imaging techniques, they are now diagnosed more commonly and considerably earlier. Although giant masses are seen sporadically, particularly in the rural scenarios. A 74-year-old multipara with distension of abdomen and breathlessness misdiagnosed as ascites initially was later on confirmed as giant borderline mucinous cystadenoma. We wish to highlight this case to bring forth the plight of rural women who are deprived of standard health care. The case of ovarian tumor presented seems to be the largest documented ovarian tumor in central India to the best of our knowledge. |
