Largest Serous Cystadenoma in the first Trimester treated Laparoscopically: A Case Report

Dolly Jaykant Dhuliya et al. Oman Med J. 2012 Jan.

Abstract

We report the first case of a giant serous cystadenoma approximately 7.5kg in weight in a 28-year old primigravida at 8 weeks of gestation which was successfully excised laparoscopically. Postoperatively, she had a quick recovery and she was discharged on post op day 3 with an intact pregnancy and no complications. This is the largest ovarian cyst in early pregnancy that has been ever reported from our hospital. We also believe this cyst to be the largest cyst in early pregnancy ever reported in the literature that has been managed by Laparoscopy.

Keywords: Pregnancy; Serous cyst adenoma; largest.
