Ovarian lesions are unusual in the young group, accounts for 2% of all cases seen. They range from benign cysts to highly malignant aggressive tumours. Presentation of huge tumours have become rare as most of them are diagnosed and treated early. Still we get reports of patients with huge abdominal tumours and many of them are serous cystadenoma of ovary. Sometimes it becomes very difficult to identify the source of these tumours and they are misdiagnosed as mesenteric cyst. Absolute diagnosis is only possible at laparotomy. We present 2 cases of giant ovarian tumours in young unmarried girls.

Abstract


Ovarian lesions are unusual in the young group, accounts for 2% of all cases seen. They range from benign cysts to highly malignant aggressive tumours. Presentation of huge tumours have become rare as most of them are diagnosed and treated early. Still we get reports of patients with huge abdominal tumours and many of them are serous cystadenoma of ovary. Sometimes it becomes very difficult to identify the source of these tumours and they are misdiagnosed as mesenteric cyst. Absolute diagnosis is only possible at laparotomy. We present 2 cases of giant ovarian tumours in young unmarried girls.
