Background |
Giant paratubal cysts are rare lesions that can present management challenges due to their enormous size. We present a modified minimally invasive approach for effective surgical management of giant paratubal cysts.
Case |
A 19-year-old adolescent with worsening abdominal distention and metrorrhagia was diagnosed with a giant paratubal cyst. A modified, minimally invasive technique designed to limit spillage of cyst fluid was successfully used for surgical management.
Summary and Conclusion |
We evacuated 5500 mL of cyst fluid without spillage, and near-complete excision of cyst was performed with preservation of adnexa. Preservation of the adnexa in female adolescents is critical, and minimally invasive approaches should be used where possible.
