Supriti Kumari, Nitin Tyagi* and Gaurav Anand

ABSTRACT

In the current era of medical practice, giant ovarian tumours have become rare due to early discovery on routine check-ups. Detection of ovarian tumours causes panic amongst patients because of the fear of malignancy leading to psycho-somatic stress disorders. In addition to this, large size of these tumours causes mechanical pressure symptoms on the gastrointestinal, respiratory and urinary tract. Large ovarian tumours in young woman are mostly benign. Epithelial ovarian cancer is seen in 4.1% in women less than 30 years and the cases which present as bilateral are of 0-17%.[1] We present a rare case of bilateral ovarian carcinoma in a 27year old woman.
