Mucinous cystadenoma arises from the totipotent surface epithelium of the ovary. Its association with Brenner tumor suggests its origin as mucinous metaplasia of the epithelioid cells. The chance of malignancy is 5–10 percent. Patients usually present with abruptly increasing abdominal mass. Cystectomy is the management of choice in these cases. It was managed by laparoscopy.

Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma is a benign tumour that arises from the surface epithelium of the ovary. It tends to be huge in size if not detected early. We describe a 32 year old woman (para 1+0) presented with marked abdominal distension, discomfort and vague pain in the abdomen with dyspepsia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and irregular menstruation for last three months with the suspicion of pregnancy. On examination no findings were in favour of pregnancy, rather an ill defined abdominal mass about 30 weeks pregnancy size was found. Transabdominal USG revealed a big multiloculated ovarian cyst of about 25x20 cm. On laparotomy a huge cystic mass was noticed arising from left ovary. The cyst wall was smooth, intact and without any external projection though adherent with the left fallopian tube and left salpingo-oophorectomy was done. Histopathological examination revealed an ovarian cyst compatible with mucinous cystadenoma. Such giant ovarian tumours have become rare in current practice. This case report emphasizes the significance of thorough evaluation of all women presented with non specific complaints like vague abdominal pain or simple dyspepsia. Although the condition is rare, it is potentially dangerous in the massive form if not timely diagnosed and managed properly. With the increasing awareness of such conditions, more and more cases could be detected and reported early. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dmcj.v3i1.22239 Delta Med Col J. Jan 2015; 3(1): 48-51

Ovarian Brenner tumors, accounting for ∼5% of overall ovarian epithelial neoplasm, are often reported in association with mucinous neoplasm. Histogenetically, the two tumors are thought to arise from similar precursors. To date, fewer than 60 borderline Brenner tumors alone have been reported, and the concomitant presence of atypical proliferative components in Brenner and mucinous tumors is even rarer. Therefore, the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with the borderline Brenner tumors alone or coexisting with mucinous neoplasm are extremely limited. Herein, we report a unique case of a 53-year-old woman with a unilateral ovarian borderline Brenner tumor associated with focal atypical mucinous epithelial proliferation and her clinical presentations. The clinicopathological features of the tumor are documented and the literature review along with the clinical molecular advances are summarized in this study.

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that are prenatally diagnosed through antenatal ultrasonography (US). In female patients, however, attention must be paid since these formations might be confused with ovarian cysts. Herein, we present a case of a low birth weight female infant with an enteric duplication cyst. A cystic lesion was detected in the right abdomen of the fetus on antenatal US and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Serial US and MRI examinations performed after birth showed a single cyst that wandered from side to side in the abdomen; the initial diagnosis was thought to be an ovarian cyst. During laparotomy, however, it was found to be an enteric duplication cyst with volvulus. To our knowledge, there has been no report of an enteric duplication cyst presenting as a wandering abdominal mass. Our experience indicates that early intervention is necessary for patients who have a wandering abdominal mass to avoid complications and urgent surgery, whether it is an ovarian cyst or an enteric duplication cyst.

Epithelial ovarian tumours are rare in the adolescent age group, accounting for less than 15% of overall ovarian malignancy. Of this, one-fourth of them are mucinous in nature. Mucinous cystadenomas, being precursors of borderline and invasive ovarian tumours, can reach to size as large as 15-30 cm in diameter without having malignant potential. Also, intraoperative management of such large abdominal mass can be challenging. We present a case of a giant unilateral 12 kg mucinous cystadenoma in a 13-year-old young girl, that grew over a period of 1 year. She underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy after decompression of the mass without any complications.

Histologically distinct tumors that coexist in an organ without any histological admixture at their interface are denominated collision tumors. We report 3 cases of colliding mature cystic teratoma with mucinous cystadenoma and a case of mature cystic teratoma colliding with benign Brenner tumor in the ovary. We also provide a literature review based on 35 previously published ovarian collision cases. Ovarian tumors from all classes, benign, borderline and malignant lesions may collide. Both our case series and the literature review indicate that ovarian tumor collisions tend to be clinically and ultrasonographically/radiologically unrecognized. The awareness among surgeons, radiologists and pathologists of this rare phenomenon and histological recognition are crucial in order to offer adequate treatment to patients. There is a need to identify novel and more specific imaging clues pointing towards collision tumors in the ovary.

A case of bilateral fimbrial cyst with torsion of right side is presented, occurring in a 32 year old female. She presented in outpatient department with pain abdomen and feeling of mass in lower abdomen since six months. Initial assessment of ovarian cyst was made. Ultrasound showed cystic structures in left adnexa and complex cyst in right adnexa. Laprotomy was performed and bilateral fimbrial cysts in fallopian tubes were identified with torsion on right side which was subsequently confirmed on histopathology. Although huge fimbrial cysts with torsion of fallopian tube is rare, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of abdominal mass with pain in females.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hren.v10i2.6588 Health Renaissance 2012; Vol 10 (No.2); 153-154

Abstract Background: Pancreatic lymphangioma (PL) is a rare benign neoplasm arising from the lymphatic system. The imaging features of PLs are valuable but not pathognomonic, distinguishing PLs from other pancreatic cystic lesions is still a great challenge.Case presentation: In our study, we present a 62-year-old woman with PL showing tumor in the distal pancreas, which was misdiagnosed as mucinous cystadenoma preoperatively. Laparoscopic cystectomy was performed after onsite assessments intraoperatively and the recovery was uneventful. Conclusions: PLs should be included in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasms and a minimally invasive way for PL treatments is also of great importance. This case will be a good complement for the whole PL cohort.

Brenner tumors are rare ovarian tumors, which are a subgroup of transitional cell tumors of ovary. Most of these tumors are benign presenting as incidental unilateral masses in postmenopausal age group. Only 5-7% cases are bilateral. These tumors are mostly small, solid and asymptomatic, seen commonly in association with mucinous cystadenomas of ovary. In such cases they may attain a massive size. Specific diagnosis of Brenner tumor is difficult using imaging studies and can be definitely diagnosed only on pathological examination. Surgical removal is usually curative for benign tumors. We present a rare case of bilateral Brenner tumor of ovary with associated unilateral mucinous cystadenoma in which bilateral Brenner tumor was a rare incidental finding on pathological examinatio
