Abstract:
The coexistence of an ovarian mass and pregnancy is a rare event that presents various challenges in diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects. We present the cases of two patients admitted for management of an ovarian mass detected during the second trimester of their pregnancy. Imaging, based on pelvic ultrasound complemented by MRI, suggested a serous cystadenoma in both cases. Surgical treatment was performed, confirming anatomopathologically the presence of a mucinous cystadenoma in both patients. Their postoperative course was favorable, with careful follow-up during prenatal consultations, resulting in uncomplicated vaginal deliveries at term for both patients.
