Ovarian endometrioma is quite common among women of reproductive age but rarely exceed 6 cm in diameter. Ovarian endometrioma exceeding 10 cm in dimension, often referred to as giant endometrioma, is rare and can pose a diagnostic dilemma to clinicians. We present a 33-year-old single nullipara referred to our facility with a 3-year history of recurrent abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, and difficulty in breathing. The challenges in making diagnosis of a huge ovarian endometrioma are highlighted and the literature on huge ovarian endometrioma reviewed.
卵巢子宫内膜异位囊肿在育龄女性中颇为常见，但直径很少超过6厘米。直径超过10厘米的卵巢子宫内膜异位囊肿，常被称为巨大子宫内膜异位囊肿，较为罕见，会给临床医生带来诊断难题。我们报告一例33岁未育单身女性，因反复腹痛、腹部肿胀及呼吸困难3年转诊至我院。文中强调了巨大卵巢子宫内膜异位囊肿诊断中的挑战，并对有关巨大卵巢子宫内膜异位囊肿的文献进行了综述。
