Summary: When treating a giant ovarian cyst, management of inferior vena cava (IVC) syndrome, bleeding, abdominal competence, and cosmetic appearance are difficult. The details of abdominoplasty for patients with such a cyst have not been discussed. We present a patient requiring 85,000 ml of fluid evacuation before surgery.
