Giant ovarian cysts (>10 cm) are rare due to the widespread use of routine imaging. However, in the absence of compressive symptoms, giant cysts remain a diagnostic challenge, especially in patients with larger body habitus. Complications of benign ovarian cysts are infrequent but can include torsion of the adnexa. Bilateral torsion is a rare emergency that can threaten a patient's future fertility. In this case, we report on a 24-year-old female with bilateral torsion due to a triad of adnexal masses including a 30 cm mucinous cystadenoma, a 10 cm mature teratoma, and an 8 cm paratubal cyst. Controlled fluid aspiration was performed prior to en bloc resection of the cystadenoma due to the emergent nature of the case and lack of malignant features.
由于常规影像学检查的广泛应用,巨大卵巢囊肿(>10 cm)较为罕见。然而,在没有压迫症状的情况下,巨大囊肿仍然是一个诊断难题,尤其是在体型较大的患者中。良性卵巢囊肿的并发症并不常见,但可能包括附件扭转。双侧扭转是一种罕见的急症,可能会威胁患者未来的生育能力。在本病例中,我们报告了一名24岁女性,因三联征附件肿物导致双侧扭转,其中包括一个30 cm的黏液性囊腺瘤、一个10 cm的成熟畸胎瘤和一个8 cm的输卵管旁囊肿。由于该病例的紧急性质且缺乏恶性特征,在整块切除囊腺瘤之前进行了控制性液体抽吸。
