Giant ovarian mucinous cystadenoma in a young patient: clinical and therapeutic implications

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Mucinous cystadenoma is a benign neoplasm frequently encountered in the ovaries, distinguished by its significantly larger growth potential compared to other adnexal masses. These lesions are considered precursors to ovarian cancer, with the potential to slowly progress to borderline tumors or even invasive ovarian cancer. Prompt and precise therapeutic intervention is crucial, as these tumors can reach considerable sizes and pose a poor prognosis if not managed properly. A holistic approach to patient care, which incorporates the patient’s expectations and associated comorbidities, is essential. The case of a mucinous cystadenoma identified through imaging in a 20-year-old patient highlights the occurrence of such tumors in younger individuals, necessitating optimal and timely management.
