Giant Ovarian Cyst Presenting With Colon Cancer

Abstract

Giant ovarian cysts have become rare, likely due to improved and more frequent imaging techniques, especially in the United States. We present the case of a 71-year-old female that presented with one of the largest documented post-menopausal ovarian cysts in the United States, measuring 26 cm and weighing 9.2 kg (20.28l bs), with a concomitant colon adenocarcinoma. A total abdominal hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, and right hemicolectomy were performed.
