title: Massive edema of the ovary.
abstract: Ovarian edema is a newly recognized clinicopathologic entity. A case of massive ovarian edema is presented in which a huge abdominal mass was considered to be an ovarian cyst roentgenographically and clinically. However, ultrasound revealed the mass to be solid. Five previously reported cases in which ovarian edema simulated a fibroma are reviewed.
