Ovarian mass with Pregnancy.

Abstract

e incidence of ovarian and adnexal masses in pregnancy appears to be apparently increasing with the expanding use of antenatal ultrasound. Persisting adnexal masses can lead to complications, and may (rarely) require emergency, or elective surgical resection. (the optimal surgical window being around 16 to 20 weeks of gestation). is is case study of ovarian mass and pregnancy. All 3 patients were operated at different time of pregnancy for ovarian mass. Histopothology and outcome of pregnancy was seen. nd rd Results: Out of 3, 2 patients were diagnosed pregnancy with ovarian mass in 2 trimester and 1 was diagnosed in 3 trimester. Patients who nd nd rd were diagnosed in 2 trimester were operated in 2 trimester and who was diagnosed in 3 trimester, was operated after delivery. All patients had mucinous cyst adenoma. Conclusion: Risk of torsion, rupture, or obstruction, immediate surgery is preferable, considering gestational age, to make a provision for commensurate foetal growth , providing adequate space in peritoneal cavity, of course , with due risk of abortion or provoked prematurity and fetal morbidity, to be kept in mind.
