This woman presented with a 1-month history of abdominal swelling and discomfort. She was otherwise healthy with regular menstruation. CT revealed a large (32 × 24 × 13 cm) unilocular cystic intra-abdominal mass. Differentials included either a mesenteric, ovarian or peritoneal inclusion cyst. At laparoscopy, the cyst was arising from the right ovary. The cyst was decompressed laparoscopically and resected along with the right ovary. The specimen was retrieved via a Pfannenstiel incision.
