A 27-kg Giant Ovarian Mucinous Cystadenoma in a 72-Year-Old Postmenopausal Patient: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystadenoma is a benign cystic ovarian tumor arising from the surface epithelium of the ovary; it usually presents with vague, unspecific abdominal symptoms. If not detected early, they have the potential to grow to a substantial size and can present with huge abdominal distention leading to various compression symptoms. Mucinous cystadenomas most commonly occur in the third to sixth decades of life, and rarely occur in extremes of age.
