Abstract	Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas are benign epithelial neoplasms rarely occurring in adolescence but capable of reaching massive sizes, leading to significant morbidity. This review synthesizes global evidence and India-specific data to evaluate epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostics, management, and sociocultural challenges. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature (2020–2025) across medical journals, government reports, and professional guidelines identified Fifty credible sources, including 30% India-specific studies. Methodology encompassed retrospective analyses, case reports, imaging reviews, and registry data. Key findings: 1. Incidence in Indian adolescents is 0.1% of ovarian tumors (1). 2. Presentation often includes abdominal distension, pain, and urinary symptoms, with delayed diagnosis common in rural areas (2). 3. Ultrasound and MRI “stained-glassˮ appearance aid preoperative diagnosis (3). 4. Fertility-sparing surgery (cystectomy or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) shows excellent outcomes, with negligible recurrence when complete excision is achieved (4). Conclusions emphasize culturally sensitive community education, strengthened rural ultrasound access, and policy support for adolescent gynecologic care.
