Abstract. The management of ovarian teratomas in normal conditions is well established, but in rare giant cases (tumor diameter over 15 cm), the choice of management, such as laparotomic or laparoscopic approaches, are controversial and may be therapeutically challenging for surgeons. The aims of the current study were to analyze the clinical features of giant ovarian teratoma and to discuss its management. The clinical data of 330 patients with giant ovarian teratoma (of whom 1 patient was treated by the authors and 329 were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College between January 1st 2000 and December 31st 2010) were reviewed and analyzed. The patients had an age range of 6 to 83 years and a mean tumor size of 24.9±7.1 cm. Of the 330 patients, 102 (30.9%) were asymptomatic and the majority (69.1%, 228/330) reported symptoms. There were more patients in the laparotomic group than the laparoscopic group, especially for the emergency cases (5.5 vs. 0%, P<0.05). Accidental cyst rupture was more frequent when a laparoscopic approach was used (31.5 vs. 19.6%, P<0.05). These results suggest that laparotomic resection may be preferred for the en bloc mass removal, adequate abdominal cavity irrigation and avoidance of accidental mass rupture in the management of giant ovarian teratomas. Familiarity with the imaging features of giant ovarian teratomas effectively aids preoperative diagnosis and differentiation.

“…They typically occur at reproductive age in second to third decade of life, however it can occur in any age from one to 90 years 6,7 . Ovarian cysts are traditionally labelled as large when they are over fi ve cm in diameter and giant or voluminous when they are over 15 cm, more suitable designation for giant cysts may however relate the size of the cyst to the size of the peritoneal cavity in these patients 8 . With the tolerance of the abdominal cavity there may not be clear symptoms at the early stage of ovarian teratomas.…”

Laparotomic resection is the preferred method for the en-block mass removal, adequate abdominal cavity irrigation, and avoidance of accidental mass rupture during management of giant ovarian teratoma.Here we discuss a case of a 43 year old multiparous lady suffering from a huge ovarian tumour of size 40 cm, admitted in Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital on 15th May 2013. This patient underwent laparotomy on 21st May 2013 and left sided huge multiloculated ovarian cystic teratoma was removed en-bloc with no complications.
