case_images: Computed tomography showed a wellcircumscribed mass displacing the uterus forward with left ureterohydronephrosis respecting the cortex suggesting a giant ovarian cyst.

case_images: The computed tomography showed a well-circumscribed mass, measuring 20 cm, with fluid density not taking the contrast, without walls or vegetations, displacing the uterus forward with the left ureterohydronephrosis respecting the cortex; the ovaries could not be visualized and the diagnosis pointed to a giant ovarian cyst (Figure 1).
case_images: Surgical exploration showed a 25 cm retroperitoneal cyst. Ovaries and uterus were normal.

case_images: Ovaries and uterus were normal (Figure 2).
case_images: An accidental rupture of the cyst gives way out of the slats reminiscent of keratin.

case_images: Under tension, an accidental rupture of the cyst can pour out of the slats, being thus reminiscent of keratin (Figure 3).
