Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian dermoid cyst is a benign germ cell tumor usually occurring during fertile age. In contrast, giant omental dermoid is extremely rare and is thought to originate from ovarian torsion, detachment and omental implantation. We present a case of a 73 year old patient with 26 cm giant omental dermoid weighing more than 6 kg. During surgery, aspiration of the cystic part facilitated the delivery of the big mass through a relative small abdominal incision.
