“…Many authors have investigated adnexal masses during pregnancy and suggested expectant management in which the mean diameter of the mass was <5-6 cm. Grimes et al 1. reported 185 adnexal masses; 111 cysts were diagnosed during pregnancy and managed expectantly.…”

Background:The reported incidence of adnexal masses during pregnancy vary from 1 in 81 pregnancies to 1 in 8000 pregnancies. There is still a debate on management of incidental adnexal masses during the caesarean section concerning the risk of this additional procedure on postoperative morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to investigate the management of incidental adnexal masses which were observed during caesarean section in a tertiary health care centre.Materials and Methods:The medical records of the patients who had incidental adnexal masses during caesarean section at Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Teaching and Research Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from January 2006 to September 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. The data was processed with the SPSS 16.0 statistical software.Results:The number of total live births was 17341 and 6624 of them were done by caesarean section (31%). There were 38 cases of incidental adnexal masses which were discovered at caesarean section. The most common pathologic diagnosis of the masses were paraovarian–paratubal cysts with the rate of 23.7% (n=9). Cystectomy procedure during caesarean section did not alter the morbidity of the patient.Conclusions:In conclusion for detecting adnexal masses during pregnancy follow-up of growth rate of adnexal mass will be a useful reference during the observation period if ideally all pregnant women have a first-trimester ultrasound examination with regular adnexa check-up.

“…The reported incidence of adnexal masses during pregnancy vary from 1 in 81 pregnancies to 1 in 8000 pregnancies 1. This large variation is due to methods of detection, differences in the definition of clinically significant masses and delivering adequate health care to pregnant population.…”

“…Even if the mass is as large as 10-15 cm in diameter, the risks of torsion and malignancy are not higher than with masses less than 6 cm. Several researchers have suggested that adnexal masses of <6 cm are not expected to cause complications in pregnancy (6)(7)(8)(9). One author reviewed 36 patients treated by surgery for torsion in pregnancy, in whom the majority (72%) of masses were 6-10 cm in diameter (10), but it was unclear whether a size of 6-10 cm really increased the risk of torsion.…”
