title: Multicystic ovarian tumor weighing 156 lbs: the second largest tumor in Texas.
abstract: A woman's lifetime risk of developing an ovarian neoplasm is approximately 7%. A small subset of these neoplasms comprises the gigantic ovarian tumors (> 25 lbs) that often present challenging and difficult problems. We present a case of a 156-lb ovarian tumor with emphasis on the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to successful management.
