It is noted that the woman has not visited a gynecologist for more than 15 years and was admitted to the hospital with painful symptoms, shortness of breath and a progressive increase in abdominal volume.

The education provoked critical changes in the woman's body: chest deformity, compression of internal organs, and a drop to 75-80% of blood oxygen saturation.

First, the doctors stabilized the patient's condition and only then began surgery, during which a mucocystic tumor, a uterus with appendages were removed, a resection of the omentum and a biopsy of the peritoneum were performed.

At the moment, the woman has been discharged from the hospital and is undergoing postoperative recovery.
