“Cistoadenoma mucinoso ovárico bilateral”

Abstract

Mucinous cystadenomas are unilateral benign cystic masses in the majority of cases (95%) that can reach large size, at present their borderline and malignant behavior is not known. Management is mainly focused on ruling out the risk of malignancy, the diagnosis is made taking into account the risk factors, age of the patient, physical examination and ultrasonographic findings. An adnexal mass with a low risk of malignancy is approached through observation with control ultrasound or laparoscopic surgery, while a mass with moderate or high risk of malignancy should be approached surgically. The following case is about a 66-year-old female patient, who presents with colic abdominal pain in the hypogastrium of 1 year of evolution, with diagnosis of complex ovarian cyst and myomatosis, which is resolved by total abdominal hysterectomy + Salpingo-oophorectomy bilateral + omentectomy finding giant ovarian cysts.
