Mucinous cystadenoma coexisting with contralateral ovarian granulosa tumor

Abstract

Giant ovarian tumors are rare pathologies in gynecological conditions. It is exceptional to find a giant tumor of the ovary (mucinous cystadenoma) coexisting with a granulosa tumor. It is a clinical surgical situation of special interest due to the rarity of presentation. The case of a 63-year-old patient with white skin is presented. Referred to the General Teaching Hospital "Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna" presenting progressive and rapid increase of the abdomen, 7 months of evolution and no other symptom in its beginnings, but in the last 3 days with lack of air at bedtime, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea and anorexia. A surgical acute abdomen was diagnosed. Along with the patient’s history, the physical examination and ultrasound findings led to the conclusion of intestinal occlusion and a giant ovarian tumor. Total abdominal hysterectomy was performed with double annexation, resecting a 35x30x15 cm normal-looking left ovary tumor. Histological analysis concluded that the resected tumor was a left mucinous cystadenoma, but also reported cystic granulosa cell tumor, adult microfollicular variant, of the right ovary. The patient recovered quickly, was discharged on the eighth day and referred to the oncogynecology clinic.
