They are a challenge for gynecologists and surgeons. Diagnosis in such patients is difficult due to the limitations of the medical apparatus. Perioperative management requires specialized anesthetic medical care and is associated with high mortality. The paper presents the case of a 23-year-old woman with a giant ovarian serous tumor, characterized by an enlargement of the abdominal circumference, periodic abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, and infertility. The patient attributed these nonspecific symptoms to obesity; therefore, she was hesitant to schedule a doctor\u2019s appointment. The patient underwent laparotomy, and the cyst originating from the left ovary was removed along with part of the organ. An intraoperative examination was performed. After confirming the benign nature of the lesion, the operation was completed. In our work, we concentrated on the multidisciplinary care of the patient who required enhanced medical care from the internal medicine, cardiology, anesthesiology, rehabilitation medicine, and gynecology specialists. There were no hemodynamic changes in the heart during hospitalization. There were no significant early or late postoperative complications. In this case, we also paid attention to compression symptoms resulting from a giant ovarian tumor and the high risk of intraoperative complications resulting from its resection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59101833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,15]],"date-time":"2023-10-15T10:47:32Z","timestamp":1697366852000},"page":"1833","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Giant Ovarian Tumor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Kluz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Gynecology Oncology and Obstetrics, Institute of Medical Sciences, Medical College of Rzeszow University, Rejtana 16c, 35-959 Rzeszow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-8816-0290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Bogaczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Gynecology Oncology and Obstetrics, Fryderyk Chopin University Hospital, 35-055 Rzeszow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Wita-Pop\u00f3w","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Gynecology Oncology and Obstetrics, Fryderyk Chopin University Hospital, 35-055 Rzeszow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piotr","family":"Haba\u0142o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, John Paul\u2019s 2nd Municipal Hospital, 35-241 Rzeszow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4100-4924","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Kluz-Bar\u0142owska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Fryderyk Chopin University Hospital, F.
