Popis: Massive ovarian oedema is a rare entity, non-neoplastic tumor of the ovary. We report a case of massive ovarianoedema (MOO) in a 18-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain along with large solid pelvis mass. It iswidely accepted that MOO results from the incomplete torsion of the ovary causing accumulation of fluid within the stroma and enlargement of the ovary. Awareness of this rare lesion due to its lack of pathognomonic features may allow surgeons to a conservative management preventing unnecessary oophorectomy in young patients.
