Abstract
A 52-year-old female patient had abdominal distension for 4 months and abdominal mass for 1 month. Physical examination showed tenderness in abdominal mass without other symptoms. Ultrasonography showed that there was a huge solid and cystic mass in the right adnexa area, about 13.5 cm × 10.2 cm in size, with a clear boundary and mixed echo. CT showed a huge multilocular solid and cystic mass in the pelvic cavity, about 15 cm × 8 cm × 12 cm in size, and the boundary between the lower edge of the lesion and the uterus was unclear. Serum CA125: 3638 U/mL, HE4: 535.8 pmol/L.
