“…Dougherty and Lund (1950) made a similar assumption when they reported a thecoma which ruptured during labour; these authors stated that this tumour had grown rapidly during pregnancy although its presence was unrecognized before the onset of labour. their thin patient who weighed 45.3 kg.…”

“…It is usual to include non-neoplastic cysts in such studies because the clinical signs are similar to those of neoplastic ovarian tumours (Tawa, 1964). However, Dougherty and Lund (1950) reported the history of a patient who died due to rupture of a thecoma at delivery and stated that rapid growth of an ovarian tumour during pregnancy was "to be expected because of the marked vascular engorgement. He concluded that "these cases of rapid growth are, however, exceptional and, on the whole, it appears that pregnancy exercises no special influence in increasing the rate of growth, the evidence pointing usually in the opposite direction."…”

A series of 164 ovarian tumours diagnosed during pregnancy or the puerperium is presented. The commonest were the benign cystic teratoma (45 cases) and the mucinous cystadenoma (40 cases). Rapid growth of the tumour during pregnancy was observed in 5 of the 41 patients (12% ) in whom assessment was possible; in none of these was the lesion malignant. The incidence of malignancy was 2.4% (4 of 164 cases) or 10 times less than that of ovarian tumours in non-pregnant patients. This difference was accounted for by the variation in age distribution in pregnant and non-pregnant patients with ovarian tumours.There were 21 patients with tumours 15 cm. or more in diameter. In this group the incidence of malignancy was 5% and the commonest complications were torsion ( 5 patients) and infection during the puerperium ( 4 patients).

“…When pelvic sonography was not available three decades ago, tumors were identified as incidental findings during the initial routine prenatal pelvic examinations or at Caesarean section, and consequently the majority of ovarian neoplasms during pregnancy were not detected until they were well advanced (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)15). In our 10 cases, ovarian tumors were all detected by ultrasound and the diagnoses were all made at stage I, demonstrating the distinguished scientific benefit of pelvic sonography.…”

“…Although these tumors are relatively asymptomatic, they become evident in a routine ultrasonographic scan (2). Almost three decades ago, pelvic ultrasonography was not available and tumors were discovered as incidental findings during the initial routine prenatal pelvic examinations or at Caesarean section in symptomless patients (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). The prenatal courses were usually uneventful, causing the occasional delayed diagnosis (3) and the difficulty of early detection was emphasized (5).…”

Ovarian cancer complicated by pregnancy: Analysis of 10 cases

et al. 2011

Abstract. The objective of this study was to ascertain the evidence on ovarian cancer during pregnancy and compile recommendations derived from this information. This was a retrospective study, based on clinical histories from patients diagnosed and treated at 4 independent hospitals for ovarian cancer during pregnancy, between 1992 and 2009. The median age at diagnosis was 30 years (range, 24-41). Out of 10 cases of ovarian cancer, 2 patients showed either bleeding or abdominal pain, while 8 patients were asymptomatic. All 10 cases were diagnosed via ultrasound, and the masses were detected in the first trimester in 7 patients and in the second trimester in 2 patients. Of the diagnosed tumors, 8 cases were epithelial tumors including 6 adenocarcinomas and 2 borderline tumors, and 2 germ cell tumors. The primary ovarian malignancies were at stage I of the disease. Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed in 9 patients and cystectomy was performed in one patient. Chemotherapy was administered to 4 patients, in 1 case during pregnancy. Neonatal outcome analysis showed a full-or pre-term delivery in 6 cases, abortion in 1 case and therapeutic termination in 3 cases. The majority of cases of ovarian cancer in pregnancy were incidentally detected by ultrasound at an early stage, resulting in good prognosis for the mother and the neonate.
