Ovarian cysts are common findings in females of reproductive age. Mostly, they are non-neoplastic and hormonally dependent as follicular, simple, and corpus luteum cysts. Ovarian cysts are rarely grown to reach huge size without raising any symptoms. Most of the cases that have huge cysts present with pressure symptoms over the genitourinary system leading to urinary complaints or the respiratory system lead to respiratory embarrassment.Dermoid cysts account for 10–20% of all ovarian neoplasms. They are common in young women, especially at the age of 30 years.In most of cases, they are asymptomatic and can be discovered accidentally on clinical examination or ultrasonographic scan. They are usually indolent tumors with very slow rate of growth about 1.8 mm per year. Giant dermoid cysts have been infrequently reported in the literature.This is a case report of huge dermoid cyst weighing 25 kgs in a 42-year old perimenopausal lady that remained relatively asymptomatic. She underwent Laparotomy with ovarian cystectomy.

The article presents the clinical features of the complicated course of tumor-like formations of the uterine adnexa in girls, adolescents and young women.  The characteristic symptoms of adnexal torsion are described. Topographic and anatomic features leading to torsion of ovarian cysts and uterine appendages, features of the surgical treatment of patients with complicated adnexal torsion are presented. The aim was to study the frequency of occurrence of ovarian tumor-like formations and their complicated course in girls, adolescents and young women, improve early diagnosis and develop optimal methods of conserving surgical treatment of this pathology. Material and methods. The study included 90 girls, adolescents and young women. Patients were divided into three groups. 1 group included 30 young women; the 2nd group consisted of 35 adolescents 13-17 years; 3 group consisted of 25 girls from 2 to 12 years. Diagnostic complex included clinical, special gynecological, comprehensive laboratory, ultrasound (including doppler ultrasound) research, computer and magnetic resonance imaging (if indicated). Results and discussion. The final diagnosis of “Ovarian cyst” was verified in 46 of 90 patients (51,1 %): group 1 – 26 of 30 (86,6 %), in 2 – 18 of 35 (51,4 %), in 3 - 2 of 25 (8 %). It is established that the torsion of the uterine adnexa was detected in 44 of 90 patients: in 1 group – 13,3% of cases (4 of 30 young women), in 2 group – 48,5 % (17 of 35 adolescents), in 3 group – 92 % (23 of 25 girls). 76 surgeries were performed by laparoscopy with preservation of the ovarian reserve, 12 patients were treated conservatively with final diagnosis “Ovulatory syndrome” and “Retention cyst of the ovary”. Conclusions. Ovarian cyst as the cause of abdominal pain is significantly more often diagnosed in young reproductive age than in patients of prepubertal and pubertal age. In girls and adolescent girls with symptoms of acute abdomen the torsion of intact uterine adnexa was significantly more common than in adult patients, due to anatomical features of the internal reproductive organs and more a mobile lifestyle inherent in this age group. Optimal treatment of functional ovarian cyst is complex conservative therapy, surgical treatment of ovarian cysts at a young age is conducted under strict indications, treatment of choice is laparoscopy.

There have been many reports of the association between hemihypertrophy and intraabdominal masses, including Wilms' tumor, hepatoma, and adrenal cortical neoplasias.1 The present report describes a patient with segmental hemihypertrophy, multiple ovarian cysts, and bilateral Wilms' tumor and suggests a screening regimen for patients with hemihypertrophy. CASE REPORT The patient was a 9 lb 14 oz product of a term pregnancy, who was well until a mass filling the entire right side of the abdomen was discovered on routine examination at 4 months of age. Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) confirmed a large prerenal mass which on ultrasound was felt to be an ovarian cyst.

Intestinal pathologies due to ovarian cyst are observed rarely. Although a limited number of cases in neonatal and adolescent periods have been observed, no adult case has been reported in the literature. Two mechanisms are involved in intestinal complications due to ovarian cysts: torsion due to adhesion or compression of giant ovarian mass with a diameter of 9-10 cm. We report here a terminal ileum necrosis case due to compression by an ovarian cyst with 11 × 10 × 7 cm size in an 81-year-old woman.

Haemorrhage in an ovarian cyst is very common. These cyst are known as haemorrhagic ovarian cysts (HOCs).Most of the cyst disappears spontaneously, but certain cyst requires surgical intervention. HOCs are formed because of occurrence of bleeding into a follicular or corpus luteum cyst. Allopathic system of medicines used various hormonal pills for its management which may have adverse drug reactions. Homoeopathic medicines are very helpful to manage such conditions. This article is about a case of 27 years old female who was suffering from haemorrhagic cyst. Homoeopathic medicine was given on the basis of totality of symptoms and patient cured within three months of treatment. Patient’s consent has been taken for the publication of this case report.

One of the most common benign tumors in reproductive age women is mature Teratoma. We reported a 35-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. The patient underwent laparotomy with the probable diagnosis of ovarian torsion. The evidence in the peritoneal cavity revealed chemical peritonitis due to the spontaneous rupture of the dermoid cyst.

Giant ovarian cysts are very rare nowadays and were conventionally treated by full midline laparotomy. In recent years, the laparoscopic approach is also practiced but it needs a lot of expertise and only a few cases have been reported. As the surgical treatment of choice has become less invasive, laparoscopic surgery is considered more beneficial over laparotomy because of better cosmetic results, less blood loss, reduced postoperative analgesic requirement, early mobilization and faster discharge from the hospital and early resumption to normal day to day activity. We report a case of laparoscopic extirpation of a giant right ovarian cyst measuring 15 × 21 × 22 cm in young 24-year female.

Ovarian  cysts  contribute  a  major  share  of  cystic  lesions in  fetal  life. Quite often, these cysts are benign and resolve spontaneously. Occasionally, these cysts can twist, resulting in ovarian loss. We report a case of auto-amputated ovarian cyst presetting with intestinal obstruction.

Infertility is a medical and psychosocial problem with a high prevalence. There are different treatments for this problem in Iranian traditional medicine. A 28-year-old woman presented with the complaints of 4 emergency operations of the left ovarian cyst during 4 years and infertility. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed an ovarian cyst, adhesion, and endometriosis. Hysteroscopy was unremarkable. After 2 months of letrozole administration, the ovarian cyst ruptured again. Considering the failure of conventional treatments, Iranian traditional medicine products were administered to the patient. After 3 months, the patient conceived and delivered a healthy boy through normal vaginal delivery. These compounds may help with pregnancy as a uterine tonic, vitalizer, and aphrodisiac with brain and cardiac tonic properties.

Abstract: Nowadays medical society is facing increasing numbers of adnexal masses in women of reproductive age, and especially challenging for the diagnostic workup and management are such cases during the pregnancy. Our study has a primary focus on the specific features of the pregnancy and delivery in patients with benign ovarian neoplasms.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study that included 88 pregnant patients with benign ovarian neoplasms that delivered in our facility during the period from 2014 to 2016. The patients were divided into two groups, the 1st group included 45 pregnant women with endometrioid ovarian cysts, the 2nd group consisted of 43 pregnant women with cystadenomas and ovarian teratomas. As a control group, we used cumulative statistical data from our facility and several related organizations, representing the general population.Results: It was observed, that the odds ratio of the threatened miscarriage and the threat of preterm delivery was significantly higher in patients with endometrioid ovarian cysts compared to the general population. However, the frequency of complications of the preterm period and delivery in patients with cystadenomas and ovarian teratomas showed no significant difference, compared to populational data. There were no significant differences in complications between patients with endometrioid ovarian cysts and cystadenomas / ovarian teratomas.Conclusion: Our research provides additional data on pregnancies with adnexal masses, which can help in the prevention of complications and choosing the modality of treatment in pregnant patients.
