Rupture of an ovarian endometrioma during the first trimester of pregnancy

A retrospective analysis of ovarian endometriosis during pregnancy

“…Several clinical cases of regressing tumors due to decidualization, infection, and rupture of ovarian endometriosis lesions during a pregnancy have been previously reported (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23); however, the frequency of those incidences was far from clear. In our current study, among the 25 ovarian endometriotic cysts, decidualization, abscess, and rupture of the ovarian endometriosis were for the first time demonstrated to occur in 12%, 4%, and 4% of the cases, respectively.…”

Labor may mask a symptom of the rupture of ovarian endometrial cyst: a case report

“…To our knowledge, there were no previous reports comparing the frequency of rupture of the ovarian cyst between its types. However, adhesion is more likely in endometrial cysts than other types of ovarian cyst , and decidualization during pregnancy can affect endometrial cysts resulting in softening to be more likely to rupture . Thus, endometrial cyst has the risk of rupture during pregnancy.…”

Spontaneously Ruptured Endometrioma Associated with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: MR Findings

“…[3][4][5] Correct diagnosis requires MR imaging, which can better indicate the correct shape and features of ovarian rupture better than CT. Previous studies using MR and CT imaging have reported representative features of ovarian rupture to include the absence of a tense, ‰abby, or depressed surface of the cystic lesion.…”

“…1,2 However, to our knowledge, this is theˆrst case reported in the English literature of a ruptured endometrioma associated with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and only a few cases of ruptured ovarian tumor of endometrioma and teratoma have been reported along with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomographic (CT)ˆndings. [3][4][5][6] We describe the MRˆndings of a ruptured endometrioma with an endometrioid adenocarcinoma that presented with an irregular surface and a solid component in the ovarian tumor and with ‰uid-‰uid levels in the ovarian tumor and the pelvic space.…”
