Presentation
In the present case documentary review, we have presented the clinical case of a 24-year-old woman with a left adnexal mass corresponding to giant cystadenoma (37cm), which is defined as an ovarian cystic structure greater than 15cms (10) which in this [medcraveonline.com]
Case Presentation 56-year-old patient presented with a swelling in the lower abdomen. Imaging studies showed a right ovarian mass with solid and cystic component. Suspecting a malignant ovarian neoplasm, a laparotomy and pan hysterectomy was done. [hindawi.com]
We report a 30-year-old woman with periampullary cancer and a large left ovarian cystadenoma presenting during pregnancy with features of duodenal obstruction. She had a right benign ovarian tumor removed a year back. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the presented case, the non-torsioned left ovary was associated with a cystic structure which proved to be a benign serous cystadenoma. [jpss.eu]
Here, we report the case of an 18-year-old girl with a history of sexual exploitation who presents for cystadenoma excision. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a sex-trafficked pediatric patient presenting for surgery. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis associated with primary infertility and endometriosis. Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2010;53:197-8. Punia RS, Aggarwal R, Amanjit, Mohan H. [ijrcog.org]
Treatment of polycystic ovaries includes: hormone therapy with progestins oral contraceptives infertility treatments for women who want to get pregnant [cancer.ca]
Infertility can occur as a result of ovarian tumours or their treatment. However, the role of cysts in infertility is controversial and the effects of surgical treatment are often more harmful than the cyst itself to the ovarian reserve. [patient.info]
Some prolonged symptoms may be associated with a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal imbalance that causes irregular periods and other hormone-related problems, including obesity and infertility. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

- Pathologist
Diagnosis[edit] Serous cystadenomas are diagnosed by histomorphologic examination, by pathologists. Grossly, they are, usually, unilocular cysts that contain clear, straw-coloured fluid. [en.wikipedia.org]
For the pathologists, it is important to correctly diagnose it as a combination tumour and not as cystic degeneration of a fibroma or as a serous cystadenofibroma. [hindawi.com]
Examination of the biopsy under a microscope by a pathologist is considered to be the gold standard in arriving at a conclusive diagnosis. [dovemed.com]
- Severe Pain
If a cyst breaks open, it can cause severe pain and swelling in the abdomen. Cleveland Clinic News & More Cleveland Clinic News & More [my.clevelandclinic.org]
If the tumor is causing severe pain, or if it is not resolving or is suspicious in any way, then it can be removed through laparoscopy or, if needed, through an open laparotomy (bikini incision). [medicinenet.com]
It can block the blood supply to the cyst and cause severe pain in the lower abdomen. Burst cyst : If a cyst bursts, the patient will experience severe pain in the lower abdomen. If the cyst is infected, pain will be worse. [medicalnewstoday.com]
This can cause a sudden severe pain in the lower abdomen. Occasionally, a cyst which is growing on a stalk from an ovary may twist the stalk on itself (a torsion). [patient.info]
Pain relievers : Anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen (for example, Advil) may help reduce pelvic pain. Narcotic pain medications by prescription may relieve severe pain caused by ovarian cysts. [emedicinehealth.com]
- Weight Gain
Weight gain and abdominal bloating are possible in the case of large cystadenomas, and some women experience pain during sexual intercourse, bowel movements or strenuous physical exercise. [steadyhealth.com]
She had noticed weight gain and progressive abdominal distension for 10 months. She delayed seeking medical advice because of social isolation resulting from family problems. [gynecolsurg.springeropen.com]

Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis A mucinous cystadenoma is benign with excellent prognosis (c.f. borderline mucinous tumors of the ovary or mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary). [radiopaedia.org]
Clear cell cystadenoma: Clear cell cystadenoma is a benign cyst with an excellent prognosis. Complications Cystadenomas of the ovary are benign lesions that rarely recur after incomplete resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
We describe a new laminopathy with ovarian cystadenoma and explore its molecular etiology. The case is a 15-year-old girl who presents the prominent progeroid disorders, multiple system degeneration and early-onset cystadenoma of the ovary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Thought to largely derive from ovarian epithelial inclusions, which itself is derived from fallopian tube epithelium. Location They can be bilateral in ~15% of cases. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology Risk factors Genetic predisposition BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation HNPCC syndrome Peutz-Jeghers syndrome Hormonal imbalance and menstrual cycle Elevated number of lifetime ovulations (the contraceptive pill appears to have a protective effect) Infertility [amboss.com]
