Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Large benign ovarian tumors are rare in modern world due to increased awareness and better imaging techniques. We report a case of a 40 year old woman presenting with vague abdominal pain and severe abdominal distension since 6 months. The diagnosis was made by history taking, clinical examination, lab investigations, abdominal ultrasound and by histopathological study of excised surgical specimen. The patient underwent laparotomy and total hysterectomy with unilateral salpingoopherectomy with uneventful postoperativecourse. With this case we would like to emphasize the significance of thorough evaluation of all women who present with vague abdominal pain. These conditions if diagnosed and managed early can thereby reduce the possibility of complications associated with huge tumors like pressure symptoms, psychological trauma and stress of the possibility of malignancy. Summary: Huge ovarian cystic masses treated with laprotomy give excellent results.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
