Objective To investigate the imaging findings,clinical diagnosis and treatment outcomes of ovarian epithelial tumors during pregnancy.Methods Nineteen patients confirmed pathologically to be ovarian epithelial tumors during pregnancy were retro-spectively reviewed.All patients'clinical and imaging datas were analyzed in order to provide a basis for accurate diagnosis and treat-ment.Results There were 19 patients with 22 tumors,among of which 11 were benign tumors,3 borderline tumors and 5 malignant tumors.All tumors were composed of cystic or cystic-solid components,mainly polycystic.Mural nodules could be seen in 3 cases of borderline or malignant tumors.Obvious enhancement of solid components,septas and mural nodules could be seen on contrast-enhanced scans.Other imaging findings included pelvic effusion 2 cases,the adjacent tissues or organs displacement due to mass effect.Definite invasion of adjacent structures and distant metastases was not found.Conclusion There is no significant difference in the age,loca-tion,size and number of cysts between ovarian epithelial tumors during pregnancy and non-pregnancy,but the incidence of complica-tions increases due to physiological changes related to pregnancy.Early diagnosis and timely treatment are of great value.
