Massive Intra-abdominal Mass: A Surgical Challenge
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Serous Ovarian Cystadenomas usually present as bilateral small to medium size intra-abdominal mass. Massive intra-abdominal masses are commonly mucinous cystadenomas or mesenteric cysts. Patients with massive intra-abdominal masses present with pain in abdomen and symptoms of discomfort due to the huge swelling. Postural hypotension, intestinal obstruction, cardio respiratory embarrassment is few other presenting symptoms. Asymptomatic intraabdominal massive tumors are unusual. We report a case of a female with a massive intra-abdominal mass with clinical suspicion of mesenteric cyst or ovarian mass. Huge intra-abdominal mass with no symptoms of cardiovascular compromise and difficulty in pinpointing the organ of origin preoperatively make this case interesting.
