Massive ovarian edema is a rare condition affecting young women, often presenting as abdominal pain or a mass. Increased awareness can help avoid unnecessary oophorectomy by enabling conservative management.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Pathology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Massive ovarian edema (MOE) is a rare, benign, tumor-like condition.
  • It predominantly affects young women, typically presenting with abdominal symptoms.

Observation:

  • Patients commonly report abdominal pain and/or a palpable abdominal mass.
  • Pre-operative diagnosis of MOE is frequently challenging.

Findings:

  • MOE is characterized by stromal edema and cystic or cystic-like changes within the ovary.
  • Histopathological examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Recognizing MOE pre-operatively can guide conservative management strategies.
  • Timely diagnosis may prevent the need for oophorectomy, preserving ovarian function in young women.
