ABSTRACT

CLASSIFICATION Among persistent adnexal masses diagnosed during pregnancy (age group 18-35 years), mature teratomas are the most common followed by benign serous or mucinous cystadenomas (Table 30.2). Most of the literature on ovarian cancer in pregnancy is based on case reports and series. In the largest case series, the most common ovarian cancers found in pregnancy are serous and mucinous tumors of low malignant potential (1).
