Ovarian tumors have been classified into three main groups: epithelial, stromal and germ cells tumors on the basis of their origin. Epithelial tumors are the most common type accounting for about 60% of all the ovarian tumors in adult. Serous and mucinous tumors are the most common epithelial tumors occurring in women at age group 60-70 years. Giant ovarian tumors have become rare because of the early detection of adnexal pathology with the advent of routine imaging modalities in the recent era of medical practice. In previous studies, large or giant ovarian cysts were described as cysts measuring more than 10 cm in diameter in a radiological scan or those cysts reaching above the umbilicus.
