Background: Ovarian cystic neoplasms are common in gynaecological practice. These may pose diagnostic difficulty to the pathologists. This study was conducted to analyse the clinical and histological profile of ovarian cystic neoplasms.Methods: This is a retrospective study done from January 2016 to April 2017 in a tertiary care hospital in North East India. All the patients, who were clinically and radiologically diagnosed as ovarian cysts, which had histopathological confirmation were included in the study. Data including the age, parity, clinical symptoms, laterality and histopathological findings were analysed.Results: A total of 101 patients operated for ovarian cysts in the study period were analysed. The most common clinical presentation was lower abdominal pain. There were 11 (10.9%) malignant cases, 4 (4%) were intermediate grade and borderline in nature, and 85 (84.1%) cases were benign in nature. There was 1 (1%) case of metastasis to ovary. Mature cystic teratoma was most common (20.8%) histopathological diagnosis. The second most common cyst was serous cystadenoma (19.8%).Conclusion: Ovarian cysts are commonly encountered in gynaecological practice and equally encountered by the pathologists. Most commonly found ovarian cysts were mature cystic teratoma followed by serous cystadenoma.

“…In a study of postmenopausal women with ovarian cysts, CA 125 (levels<35 IU/ml) was found to be a useful marker that is significantly related to benign cysts (Dikensoy et al, 2007). In follow-up treatment for ovarian cysts, in cases where levels are <5 cm or CA 125 is high, the decision to operate may be taken with regard to the patient's age and menstrual status (Knudsen et al, 2004). As a result of being retrospective, our study has revealed no information about the incidence of malignancy in ovarian cyst patients with high CA 125 levels or whether or not they underwent operations.…”

Mucinous ovarian tumors account for 15% all ovarian neoplasms, of which giant variants rarely occur. Recently huge ovarian cysts (more than 12 kg) are now rarely seen because of the development in health care systems and education. The patient is 26-yearold nulligravida female who presented with abdominal distension. A laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Laparoscopic approach to giant ovarian cyst may be difficult regarding the risk of cyst rupture and limited working space. To reduce the limitations of the laparoscopy, we performed laparoscopy after aspirating the cystic contents. During laparoscopy, abdominal cavity was explored by the scope. Cyst contained about 53 L of fluid. The histopathologic examination revealed a borderline mucinous tumor of the left ovary. Laparoscopic excision of giant ovarian cyst seems to be safe and applicable treatment modality. Copyright © 2012. Korean Society of Obstetrics and GynecologyLaparoscopic approach is more advantageous over laparotomy, considering better cosmetic results, lesser blood loss, lesser pain and analgesic requirement, faster recovery, and shorter hospitalization time [1]. Laparoscopic approach to giant ovarian cyst, in cases when the cysts' sizes exceed to the umbilicus, may be difficult regarding the risk of cyst rupture and limited working space [2]. However, if the laparotomy is chosen as the operative treatment, a larger incision is required to excise the cyst. We present a case of laparoscopic extirpation of a giant ovarian cyst. Case ReportA 26-year-old woman was referred to our department for a giant abdominal mass in July 2011. She was single and nulliparous female who presented with a gradually increasing abdominal swelling first noticed 4 years ago. Due to the huge mass she was unable to walk and had anorexia and weight gain. At admission, the emaciated patient weighted 120 kg, had a body height of 177 cm and abdominal girth at the level of the umbilicus was 190 cm (Fig. 1). There was no history of colicky pain fainting attacks, vomiting or other gastrointestinal attacks. She had no previous history of any illnesses, allergies or operations. On abdominal examination, abdomen was grossly distended engorged veins present, fluid thrill was present. There were no abnormalities in hematologic and biochemical data including cancer biomarkers CA-125, CA 19-9, and carcinoembryonic antigen. On ultrasonography, a huge, multilocular cystic tumor with low echogenic content was found (Fig. 2). There were no papillary or solid parts of associated with the wall or septa, and no ascites. She could not fit into the computed tomography machine due to the giant abdominal mass. After consultation with the anesthesiology and cardiology teams, the patient was placed in a semiFowler's position in the operating room due to dyspnea, general anesthesia and endotracheal tube intubation was performed.
