Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and management of ovarian tumor complicated by pregnancy and its influence on the pregnancy outcome, so as to provide diagnostic and therapeutic experiences.
Methods A total of 248 cases were surgically and pathologically diagnosed as ovarian tumor complicated by pregnancy in The 202 Military Hospital from January, 2003 to December, 2009, and their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.
Results The incidence rate of ovarian tumor complicated by pregnancy was 0.49%. Among total 248 cases, 131 (52.82%) were benign tumors, of which 22.18% were ovarian mature teratomas; 113 (45.57%) were tumourlike lesions, of which most were ovarian chocolatecyst and lutealcyst, and 4 (1.61%) were malignant tumors. There were 212 cases treated by tumorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy, and 3 of 4 cases with malignant tumors took postoperative chemotherapy. A total of 192 cases were diagnosed by regular antenatal care and ultrasound examination, accounting for 77.42% of the total sample size found during pregnancy. Among 14 cases receiving emergency operations, 9 were complicated by torsion, and the other 5 were by rupture. There were 67 cases receiving operation from the 14th to 18th gestational week, and 57 cases had full-time pregnancy.
Conclusion Ultrasonography and pelvioscopy are of principal importance in the diagnosis and detection of ovarian tumor complicated by pregnancy which should be treated by tumorectomy, and suitable surgery intervention during second trimester is safe.
