OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine maternal and foetal outcome in @entity1 undergoing surgery for a pelvic mass in pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: Maternal and foetal records (outcomes) of eight cases of @entity4134 associated with intrauterine pregnancy that required laparotomy or @entity1173 or that were diagnosed incidentally at the time of caesarean section were reviewed. The review was performed on @entity1 who were seen with an @entity4134 in pregnancy from January 1994 to February 2001. We included @entity1 with simple or complex masses > or = 6 cm that were persistent on ultrasonographic evaluation and @entity1 with @entity4134 with complications (torsion, @entity548 ). We excluded cysts that spontaneously resolved by 16 weeks' gestation. RESULTS: Eight @entity1 of 16,472 deliveries were identified with @entity4134 that satisfied the above criteria. Six @entity1 underwent laparotomy in the first and/or the second trimester of pregnancy. In two of them emergency laparotomy were done due to torsion or @entity548 as a complication of the @entity4134 . In all @entity1 @entity43 were found. Two @entity1 underwent transvaginal @entity1173 of simplex cysts due to subtorsion in the first trimester of gestation (negative results on cytological study). All of these eight @entity1 had term deliveries. Two @entity1 , due to obstetrical reasons, underwent caesarean section. CONCLUSION: The incidence of an @entity4134 during pregnancy in our population is consistent with what has been reported in the literature. We emphasize that transvaginal @entity1173 and drainage of symptomatic simplex cysts in the first trimester and percutaneous cysts in the second trimester can avert laparotomy. Our data support a randomised clinical study to determine optimal management of an @entity4134 in pregnancy.
