Abstract
A 54 year female patient came with complaints of distension and lump in abdomen since 2 months. Clinical examination revealed diffuse distension of abdomen with evidence of intra-abdominal lump. No evidence of free fluid. USG revealed large cystic lesion arising from pelvis. CECT revealed large abdominopelvic cystic lesion with multiple daughter cysts. No post contrast enhancement. Laparotomy revealed a 24x21x19 cm cystic ovarian tumour, which was excised. Postoperative course was uneventful and patient was discharged.
Keywords: Hydatid cyst, ovarian cystadenoma.
