A Giant Ovarian Tumor in a 16-Year-Old Girl

Abstract

Ovarian tumors are an important and urgent problem of modern gynecology. This is due to the difficulties in diagnosing neoplasms due to the absence of characteristic complaints and frequent asymptomatic course. Pediatric surgeons, pediatric gynecologists should conduct differential diagnostics between ovarian tumors and tumors of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space in order to timely diagnose and treat neoplasms and prevent possible medical error. The article presents an indicative clinical case of the occurrence of giant mucinous ovarian cystadenoma in a teenage girl requiring differential diagnosis with formations of a different localization. Patient F., 16 years old, was admitted to the hospital in the direction of one of the regions of the Russian Federation. The reason for the patient's treatment to a gynecologist at the place of residence was pain in the lower abdomen for a month and an increase in the size of the abdomen. The patient was sent to the hospital to clarify the diagnosis and further treatment. Radical surgical treatment was performed: removal of the cyst of the left ovary using video endoscopic technologies
