Giant mucinous cystadenomas are rare in adolescents and young adults.
We report a mucinous cystadenoma in a 16-year-old postmenarchal girl presented with abdominal distention and pain, and elevated serum CA-125 levels. Radiological evaluations showed a large cystic mass originating from the right ovary. The patient underwent successful surgery with complete resection of the tumor without rupture and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign mucinous cystadenoma.
The case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and the need for total surgical resection without rupture to ensure a favorable outcome in such cases and close follow-up is recommended.
巨大黏液性囊腺瘤在青少年和年轻成年人中较为罕见。
我们报告一例16岁初潮后女孩的黏液性囊腺瘤，该患者出现腹胀和腹痛，血清CA - 125水平升高。影像学评估显示一个源自右卵巢的巨大囊性肿块。患者接受了成功的手术，肿瘤完整切除且未破裂，组织病理学检查确诊为良性黏液性囊腺瘤。
该病例强调了早期诊断的重要性以及在这类病例中进行无破裂的完整手术切除以确保良好预后的必要性，建议进行密切随访。
