As Caroline Sochacki-Wójcicka reported, the patient’s tumor was so developed that it reached up to the level of the navel. She added that elective surgery is usually performed for these types of changes. In this case, however, action had to be taken immediately because the tumor was twisted. Therefore, the doctors began to remove the lesion.
In the report that the doctor published on Instagram, the surgeon who performed the tumor removal also speaks out. The specialists informed that they had the patient’s consent to show the contents of the removed lesion. – We hope that it is a benign tumor – they added.
What came out of it and what it looks like is one of the rarest things that can happen in gynecological practice
– emphasized the professor.
“Large tumors can develop even in 2-3 months”
Mom Gynecologist decided to share with her followers several recordings that were made in the clinic immediately after the surgery. They show how huge the tumor that was removed from the patient’s body is. The lesion was approximately 17 centimeters. Doctors cut it open to show the contents. – I warn you that this film is strong, but interesting – said Caroline Sochacki-Wójcicka.

She drew attention to one more, very important aspect. The patient confided to her that she had been to the gynecologist only a year ago and no tumor had been detected. Which is why Mother Gynecologist pointed out that changes in the ovaries should be monitored very carefully. – Large tumors can develop even after 2-3 months – said the doctor.
In the context of the recording published by Mama Gynecologist, it is worth emphasizing once again that the importance of regular visits to the gynecologist, performing transvaginal ultrasound to detect any changes at an early stage, and cytology. Especially since – as reported by a specialist portal
“Diagnostics+” – ovarian tumors are a serious problem that affects women of all ages. Ovarian tumor may be caused by various diseases that may involve the ovary itself, the fallopian tube or the surrounding tissues.
It is worth emphasizing that of course not all changes we deal with have the status of malignant changes. However, according to foreign statistics, on average up to 10 percent of women are exposed to the risk of surgery throughout their lives due to suspected malignancy.
Ovarian tumor. When to see a doctor?
When we talk about ovarian tumors, we are also talking about harmless, benign changes, which can be absorbed spontaneously or after using appropriate pharmacology. However, malignant tumors also included in the term “ovarian tumor” are lesions that require immediate treatment. Only some ovarian tumors can be removed surgically. In the case of malignant tumors, surgery is usually performed, combined with complementary treatment – to save the patient’s life and health.
So let’s repeat: diagnostics is the key. Detection of health-threatening ovarian changes at an early stage guarantees the success of further therapy. Ovarian cancer may not cause any symptoms for a long time – therefore, preventive tests are necessary, including: mentioned ultrasound. Cancerous ovarian tumors may also appear in very young women and are associated with a high mortality rate.
But – while maintaining vigilance and common sense – we should not panic every time we detect a lump on the ovary. It may as well be just a harmless, benign change. In each case, this is determined by the results of medical examinations, which should be performed immediately.
