A Huge Ovarian Mucinous Cystadenoma in a 15-Year-Old Girl with Situs Inversus Totalis: Report of a Rare Case.

Background: Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas with situs inversus totalis are infrequent in pubertal girls. Surgical techniques on their treatment without affecting ovary anatomical and physiological function have always been a great challenge.

Methods: A 15-year-old girl presented with abdominal distension and pain due to some huge growths. Computed tomography imaging showed that the heart and whole abdomen viscera were inversely located. Two big low-density masses were found in the abdominopelvic cavity. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and 2 tumors were removed. Pathology confirmed a mucinous cystadenoma.

Conclusions: Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas with situs inversus totalis can be detected with detailed physical and radiological examination. For adolescent female patients, particular attention should be paid to protect the reproductive anatomical structure during surgery.
