: A paratubal cyst, which makes up about 10% of all adnexal masses, is a specific type of adnexal cyst that develops from the mesothelium in the broad ligament located between the fallopian tube and the ovary. Interestingly, the majority of paratubal cyst cases are initially misidentified as ovarian cysts, with suspicion arising in only 1 out of every 15 patients before undergoing surgery. : We report a case of a giant paratubal cyst mimicking an ovarian cyst in a 21-year-old woman supported by some representative images along with a literature review. The cyst's therapeutic management was surgical removal of the adnexa and the final postoperative histopathological diagnosis was that of a benign paratubal cyst. : This case highlights the need to include a paratubal cyst in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses, especially in women of reproductive age. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the largest paratubal cyst reported in the literature to date, based on overall dimensions and the highest recorded volume of aspirated fluid, successfully managed via laparoscopy. A further notable aspect of this case is the coexistence of the giant paratubal cyst with an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma.
输卵管旁囊肿约占所有附件肿块的10%,是一种特殊类型的附件囊肿,由位于输卵管和卵巢之间阔韧带内的间皮细胞发育而来。有趣的是,大多数输卵管旁囊肿病例最初被误诊为卵巢囊肿,术前每15例患者中只有1例被怀疑为此病。我们报告一例21岁女性的巨大输卵管旁囊肿酷似卵巢囊肿的病例,并辅以一些代表性图像及文献复习。囊肿的治疗方法是手术切除附件,术后最终组织病理学诊断为良性输卵管旁囊肿。该病例凸显了在盆腔肿块鉴别诊断中,尤其是在育龄女性中,需考虑输卵管旁囊肿。据我们所知,基于总体尺寸和吸出液体的最高记录量,这是迄今为止文献报道中最大的输卵管旁囊肿,通过腹腔镜手术成功治疗。该病例的另一个显著特点是巨大输卵管旁囊肿与卵巢黏液性囊腺瘤并存。
