Malignant Mesothelioma of Ovary is an extremely uncommon, malignant tumor of the ovary. The cause of formation of the tumor is not well understood. The clinical presentation of MMO is equivalent to Large-sizedtumors that causes cause abdominal and pelvic pain, discomfort, and weight loss. The complications of Ovarian Malignant Mesothelioma (OMM) include infertility, metastasis to various regions, and recurrence following its surgical removal. It’s prognosis is generally poor due to local invasion and metastasis of the malignancy to various body site. Here we report the case of a 50-year-old patient presenting with an increase in abdominal volume associated with a deterioration in general condition. The abdomino-pelvic CT showed a huge left ovarian without peritoneal carcinoma. The final pathologic diagnosis of ovarian malignant mesothelioma was made through histologic and immunohistochemical examination. The surgery was followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, resulting in a complete radiological response, with disease-free survival of more than one year.
