Abstract

Large ovarian tumors are not very uncommon in rural India and developing countries, due to delayed reporting by the patients to the scarce healthcare facilities available, hence anesthesiologists must be aware of the anesthetic challenges that one may have to face in these cases. We report perioperative anesthetic management for a large ovarian tumor which was successfully removed.The tumor weighed 32 kg with a fluid volume of 15 lit.
