[Germinal cancer of the ovary and pregnancy].
The association of ovarian cancer with pregnancy, in a young patient with acute abdominal syndrome was reviewed. The prognosis is related to early diagnosis and the stage, therefore ultrasonography is the corner stone to detect these tumors allowing a conservative management, mainly when the fertility must be maintained in younger patients. Chemotherapy is an excellent adjuvant in the midtrimester and can be administered without an important deleterious effect on the fetus.
