Incidental Discovery of Giant Ovarian Cysts During Autopsy. Case Analysis and Literature Review
Thanks to good early diagnosis, ovarian cysts are diagnosed early, before they reach gigantic size, so giant cysts are extremely rare. Delayed diagnosis is related to reluctance of patients to consult doctors and confusion with ascites and obesity. They are usually benign, and the symptoms they cause are related to mass effect - pressure on nearby organs.
