Abstract:
There are few reports of pregnancy complicated by a primary borderline parovarian tumor. A 32-year-old pregnant woman was found to have an ovarian tumor. At 13 weeks of gestation, cystectomy was performed and a diagnosis of primary borderline parovarian tumor was made. At 38 weeks of gestation, she underwent cesarean section combined with a restaging operation. A normal infant was delivered and there were no signs of recurrence. Currently, the patient is being followed for 24 months after the initial treatment and all imaging data show no evidence of recurrence. This report includes a short review of the existing literature on this topic and documents this case in detail. This case demonstrates the appropriate procedure for evaluating and treating a primary borderline parovarian tumor during pregnancy.
