Dr. Preeti F. Lewis ^[3] | Dr. Roopali S. Sehgal | Dr. Kumari Ankita

Abstract: Ovarian cancer is a significant health concern in India, with shifting trends in incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes over the past decade. This article highlights the evolving landscape of ovarian cancer in India, where the disease is projected to rise by 57.5 by 2040. We present a case of a massive borderline serous cystadenoma in a postmenopausal woman, emphasizing the challenges posed by such cases. The patient?s presentation, diagnostic workup, surgical procedure, and pathological diagnosis are detailed. Additionally, a literature review of giant ovarian tumors is provided. This case underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach and vigilant management to mitigate potential complications associated with large ovarian cysts during surgical removal.
