## TL;DR

This paper discusses a rare case of advanced ovarian cancer in a young patient and the complex post-surgery complications faced.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare clinical case involving LGSC in a young patient with severe postoperative complications.

## Key findings

- LGSC is rare and often underrepresented in medical literature.
- Maximal cytoreductive surgery is crucial for optimal outcomes in LGSC.
- Postoperative complications like pulmonary embolism and haematoma pose significant challenges.

## Abstract

Ovarian Low Grade Serous Carcinoma (LGSC) is a rare gynecological cancer with limited representation in literature. Achieving R0 through maximal cytoreductive effort is indicated to provide the best outcome. Gynecological cancer surgery increases risk of pulmonary embolism—balancing this with bleeding risk complicates the post‐operative landscape.
