An exploratory laparotomy is performed, 150 ml of 0.9% NaCl are instilled, the sample is aspirated to be sent for cytological study and the giant tumor of the right ovary is extracted from the abdominal cavity, from which a sample is also sent for frozen biopsy. (panels A and B). After removal, the large dimensions can be seen in different positions on the auxiliary table (panels C and D).
