33 year old female with abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea/vomiting, early satiety, and weight loss.

Bottom right: Ultrasound done in a panorama shows how distended the abdomen is by a large multi-cystic mass.

Top right: Non-panoramic ultrasound image shows how limited the imaging modality is in being able to cover such a large mass. This image also shows a more solid area within the mass.

Left: CT images approximately where the ultrasound was done.

The patient underwent laparotomy with removal of the ovarian, fallopian tube, and appendix. There was a large ovarian cyst that was draining serous fluid (watery), mucinous fuid (mucus-like), and blood. The final path was as titled.
