OBJECTIVE
The presence of adnexal tumours in pregnancy is a significant problem for obstetricians requiring quick diagnosis and operation.

RESULTS
Fifteen patients delivered at term, 7 of them by the natural way. In 8 cases cesarean sections were performed: in 4 cases because of obstacle to labour in the next 4 because of other obstetricians reasons. Benign ovarian tumors were found in 20 cases (cystis dermoidalis 18%, cystis follicularis 13.8%, cystoma serosum 13.8%, cystis simplex 18%, cystis corporis lutei 9.2%, cystis picea 18%). In 1 case borderline malignancy cystadenoma papillare mucinosum were diagnosed and in 1 case during laparoscopy in 21 weeks of pregnancy ovarian malignant metastatic tumors were found. Two patients miscarriage in 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. Last two pregnancies are still observed.
