AI Article Synopsis
- Mucinous ovarian cystadenomas are rare, benign tumors that can grow large and are usually found incidentally during ultrasounds.
- Two cases are highlighted where these tumors caused abdominal swelling.
- Complicated cases can mimic serious conditions needing emergency surgery, so early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid complications and cancer development.
Article Abstract
Mucinous ovarian cystadenomas are rare epithelial benign tumors that can reach significant sizes. They are often asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during an ultrasound examination. We present two clinical cases of mucinous ovarian cystadenomas with abdominal distention. Complicated variants can mimic an acute surgical abdomen and often require the involvement of a multidisciplinary team in operative treatment. Timely diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance to prevent complications and malignancy.
