    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Brenner tumors are uncommon ovarian neoplasms, typically presenting as solid or mixed solid-cystic masses.
    • While large and cystic variants exist, particularly in proliferating Brenner tumors, entirely cystic forms are less common.
    • Understanding the spectrum of Brenner tumor morphology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.

    Observation:

    • A case of an unusually large, entirely cystic benign Brenner tumor is presented.
    • The tumor's significant size and purely cystic nature distinguish it from previously reported cases.
    • Detailed histopathological analysis confirmed the benign cystic Brenner tumor diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The reported tumor represents the largest entirely cystic benign Brenner tumor documented in medical literature to date.
    • This case expands the known morphological variations of benign Brenner tumors.
    • The absence of solid components in such a large cystic mass is noteworthy.

    Implications:

    • This report highlights the importance of considering rare presentations in the differential diagnosis of ovarian masses.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific factors contributing to the development of entirely cystic Brenner tumors.
    • Accurate characterization of such tumors is vital for appropriate clinical and surgical planning.
