Approach to the adnexal masses in pregnancy due to a case
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 54, Issue 4
Abstract
With the widespread use of ultrasound in pregnancy, adnexal masses are more frequently detected. Most of these masses are diagnosed incidentally at the first trimester screening. In the management of adnexal masses, observation is usually adequate but surgery may be required for complicated cases. Large persistent adnexal masses are at risk for torsion, rupture and malignancy. Intraoperative complications may occur such as fetal loss, preterm labor and increased risk of embolic events. In this article, we present a case of giant serous cystadenoma detected in the 24th week of gestation and discuss the appropriate approach to adnexal masses in pregnancy, the cases in which intervention is required and surgical procedures.
