J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2009 Oct;19(5):647-8. doi: 10.1089/lap.2009.0138.

Abstract

Giant ovarian cysts are very rare. Recently, laparoscopic treatment, with extirpation of the giant cyst and associated oophorectomy, has been reported. In this article, we describe the first case of complete laparoscopic enucleating of a giant serous cystoadenomyoma with preservation of residual ovarian parenchyma in an 18-year-old girl.
