ABSTRACT
Massive ovarian oedema is a rare entity described as accumulation of oedema fluid within the ovarian stroma, separating normal follicular structures. Our case was a 27-year-old woman who presented with a large solid pelvic mass after recurrent episodes of self-limited abdominal pain. On physical examination, she had left abdominal tenderness with minimal rebound and guarding. With a diagnosis of malignant ovarian tumor, an exploratory laparotomy was done and a twisted ovarian mass was found which was excised completely. Histopathological evaluation of the mass revealed massive oedema of the ovary. Massive ovarian oedema should be suspected in women at the fertile age range with solid enlargement of the ovary.
