Mucinous cystadenomas may reach a large size and may also tend to be hormonally responsive during pregnancy. A 25-year-old woman was presented with the labour pain at 40 weeks of gestation. Sonographic examination demonstrated a multiloculated, 38 cm in diameter, huge cystic mass at the right side of the uterus. After delivery of baby with cesarean section, ovarian cystectomy was performed. Histopathologically, mucinous cystadenoma findings and luteal changes were detected. This is the third reported case of huge ovarian mucinous cystadenoma with stromal luteinization complicated with intrauterine growth restriction. All ovarian cysts during pregnancy should be followed up by ultrasonography due to possibility of adverse effects of the cysts on pregnancy.
