Abstract:

A 36-year-old, 35th week of pregnancy woman was admitted to our center with severe right lower quadrant pain. The diagnosis of torsion of 12 cm right ovarian cyst was made. The patient underwent laparotomy under epidural anesthesia and the cyst was successfully removed intact. Fetus was delivered by cesarean section. Histopathological examination found intestinal-type borderline mucinous tumor. 4 months postoperatively, patient underwent surgical staging. The patient was clinically followed. Abdominal surgery carries some risks for the fetus of a pregnant woman although antepartum surgery has been considered safe. Management choice must be selected according to gestational age and adnexal mass character
