title: [Giant ovarian cyst and pregnancy (a case report)].
abstract: We report a case of giant ovarian cyst in pregnancy of 23 weeks of amenorrhea revealed by digestive and respiratory compression. As the absence of ultrasonographic and biologic malignancy criterias, several punctures of the cyst were done permitting the evolution of pregnancy until the preterm period. An annexectomy done in the immediate post-partum permitted to avoid the frequent mechanical accidents during this period. From this case, we discuss clinical and therapeutic problems of this association.
