Abstract
Giant abdominopelvic tumors continue to present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for all surgeons despite all the advances in the world of imaging. Particularly, one of the most important challenges is to determine its probable origin for adequate surgical planning. Even though mostly all of these tumors are benign ovarian tumors, extraordinarily, malignant mural nodules may develop from the wall of these benign tumors, carrying an invariable unfavorable prognosis for the patient. This case highlights the importance of a correct diagnostic approach using ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography scans and confirming the diagnosis through a histopathologic examination. The treatment for these cases is surgical resection and posterior oncological treatment if needed. This case shows how timely treatment is one of the principal determinators of morbidity and mortality.
