Massive ovarian oedema is defined by WHO as formation of tumour like enlargement of one or both ovaries by oedema fluid in the stromaIt is a benign lesion with age distribution varying from a neonate at six months of age to postmenopausal women up to 60-years-old. The differential diagnosis are ovarian fibromatosis, ovarian fibroma, sclerosing stromal tumour and ovarian myxoma. The common management of massive oedema of ovary is unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, as the lesion is mistaken for primary ovarian neoplasm at laparotomy. Diagnosing MOE is of great importance to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatment in young patients to prevent infertility .We report this case of Massive Oedema of Ovary for its uncommonness.
