Ovarian cancer is known to cause the highest mortality of gynecologic cancers. We present the case of an 89-year-old Caucasian female who presented to her surgeon with a large 33.5 cm abdominopelvic mass. Imaging done before surgery and surgical resection found the mass to be a very large ovarian tumor, and subsequent histopathology found the tumor to be a moderately differentiated mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) that weighed 8.16 kg with dimensions of 33.5 × 32.1 × 16.5 cm. Histological staining revealed the tumor cells to be nonspecific overall but in favor of a primarily ovarian source. While primary MOCs tend to be relatively larger when compared to other ovarian tumors (>10 cm), there have been few documented cases of ovarian tumors, specifically primary MOCs, presenting at this large of a size.
卵巢癌是已知导致妇科癌症死亡率最高的癌症。我们报告一例89岁的白种女性病例,该患者因一个33.5厘米的巨大腹盆腔肿物就诊于外科医生。手术前进行的影像学检查和手术切除发现该肿物是一个非常大的卵巢肿瘤,随后的组织病理学检查发现该肿瘤是一个中度分化的黏液性卵巢癌(MOC),重8.16千克,尺寸为33.5×32.1×16.5厘米。组织学染色显示肿瘤细胞总体上无特异性,但倾向于主要来源于卵巢。虽然与其他卵巢肿瘤相比,原发性MOC往往相对较大(>10厘米),但很少有文献记载卵巢肿瘤,特别是原发性MOC,呈现如此大的尺寸。
