Ovarian filariasis is a rare disease and displays diagnostic challenge. We report a case of 45 year old patient who had ovarian cyst and presented with complaint of pain abdomen. CT scan revealed right ovarian cystic lesion. The histological examination of oophorectomy specimen led to the diagnosis of serous borderline papillary tumour along with an incidental finding of filariasis in the cyst wall.
