Pregnancy With Huge Ovarian Cyst
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Ovarian masses are not uncommon in pregnancy. Incidence of ovarian mass in pregnancy is reported to be about 1 in 1000. The most common ovarian masses seen in pregnancy are functional cysts of ovary; others being benign cystic teratomas, serous cystadenoma, paraovarian cyst, mucinous cystadenoma and endometrioma. The major concern of ovarian mass in pregnancy is it's likely complication to undergo torsion (partial or complete twisting of ovary on its ligamentous supports, often resulting in impedence of its lymphatic and venous outflow and arterial inflow leading to stasis, venous congestion, haemorrhage, necrosis and sometimes cyst rupture).
