Conservative management of an ovarian cyst in late pregnancy.
We report a case of concomitant ovarian tumor and pregnancy. Sonographic examination indicated that the tumor was benign and obstructed the birth canal. After conservative treatment (puncture of the cyst), a normal vaginal delivery was possible. Two days after delivery, salpingo-oophorectomy was performed because of torsion of the cyst. Pathological examination confirmed the benign nature of the cyst.
