Ovarian tumor in pregnancy – a case report and literature review

Journal Title: Ginekologia i Położnictwo medical project - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 38

Abstract

Ovarian tumors develop in 2.3–8.8% of pregnant women. They are usually detected during a routine transvaginal ultrasound scan in the first trimester of gestation. Most of them regress spontaneously after the 10th week of pregnancy. From the histological point of view, the most common lesions include retained corpus luteum, mature teratomas as well as serous or mucinous cystadenomas. This paper presents a case of an ovarian tumor detected in the 13th week of gestation. Due to the size of the lesion (20 cm in diameter), the risk of it being malignant, pain reported by the patient and potential influence of the tumor on fetal development, it was decided to implement surgical treatment. The tumor was enucleated sparing the ovary, and a histological examination revealed teratoma adultum cysticum – struma ovarii dextri.
