Abstract

Recently a huge benign tumor of the ovary (greater than 25 pounds) is rare because of early detection and operation. Although infrequently seen, many serious problems associated with the removal of such tumors have been described, including cardiovascular and respiratory complications. For successful management and good prognosis, it certainly requires slow decompression. We have experienced one case of huge benign tumor of the ovary, and report this case with brief review of literatures.
