Mucinous tumor are cystic tumors with loculus lined with mucin-secreting epithelium constitute approximately 8-10% of primary epithelial ovarian tumors. Of all mucinous neoplasms, 75-85% are benign. It is often reach very large size particularly with the benign counterpart being reported on occasion to have exceed 100 lbs. Malignancy develops in 5-10% of benign mucinous cysts. About 15-20% of neoplasms are bilateral. We experienced a huge ovarian mucinous tumor of 155 ㎏. measured 42 × 30 × 28 ㎝ in size, and the volume of cystic contents was about 10 L in a nulligravida 36-year-old woman. Pathologic diagnosis was moderately differentiated mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of right ovary. So, we presented with a brief review of literatures.
