Abstract: We report the case of a 51-year-old Japanese woman with a giant (50.75-kg) ovarian tumor. The histopathologic diagnosis was mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. After surgery, the patient was intubated and connected to a respirator for 8 days. Thereafter, she was diagnosed with bone metastasis to the hip bone and the femur.
