Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To report the occurrence of a rare case of a huge benign ovarian tumour (Mucinous cystadenoma) with pregnancy. METHODS: The data was collected by historytaking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations, transabdominal ultrasonographic examination, and by histo-pathological study of the excised surgical specimen. RESULTS: The case was reported as a rare massive ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. CONCLUSIONS: This case report emphasizes the significance of thorough evaluation of all pregnant women presenting with ovarian tumors. Although the condition is extremely rare, it is potentially dangerous in its massive form if not timely diagnosed and managed properly. It is concluded that ovarian cyst in pregnancy must be followed-up properly. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention is associated with best feto maternal outcome. With the increasing awareness of such conditions, more cases can be detected and reported early.
