Giant musinous cystadenoma monitored until the term pregnancy without ending pregrancy

Abstract

There is no certain consensus on approach towards the adnexal mass in pregnancy. A wide spectrum treatment from conservative monitor to the complicated operations may be needed. Many of these adnexal masses are benign and disappear itself. Adnexal masses which have become persistent in the later weeks of pregnancy may force the physician and patient in the monitoring and treatment processes. This study, based on a case having an adnexal mass which was accidentally determined in the 29th week of the pregnancy, aims to contribute to the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of the adnexal masses in pregnancy by using the datum of the literature.
