Cysts can occur in all body tissues, but cysts in organs other than the ovaries present symptoms more rapidly due to the resulting dysfunction. Ovarian cysts often do not cause complaints because they are not in contact with other organs and are typically detected during routine checks. Although cysts of various sizes are encountered, giant ovarian cysts are extremely rare. This report presents the case of a 36-year-old female patient admitted to our clinic with complaints of inguinal pain, abdominal swelling, and constipation. In the ultrasonographic examination, a giant cystic mass thought to originate from the left adnexal area, was observed. A decision to perform surgical operation for the left ovarian mass was made. The cystic mass, 15 × 20 cm in size and originating from the mesoileum, was excised with its wall after peroperative aspiration with a mini-phannensteil incision. Considering this case, we aimed to demonstrate that giant ovarian cysts can be confused with mesenteric cysts and that giant benign cysts can be excised with a mini-phannensteil incision.
