Mucinous ovarian carcinoma is a less-prevalent subtype of epithelial tumors. We present a case of giant mucinous ovarian carcinoma weighing 41.1 kg in a 24-year-old Indian girl. Benign mucinous tumors have the potential to reach an enormous size but such a huge malignant mucinous tumor is very rare in literature and its occurrence in a young female is even rarer.
