Abstract

The occurrence of an adnexal mass during pregnancy is uncommon. Most of them are benign and they usually disappear by the 16th week of gestation. Their persistence represents a major concern related to the obstetrical management and the possibility of malignancy. We report a case of a woman at the 26th week of gestation that underwent an exploratory laparotomy because of a persistent adnexal mass. Tumor markers were normal. A cystoadenofibroma was diagnosed. After the laparotomy, the pregnancy evolved successfully and a cesarean section was performed upon an obstetrical indication. Also, a literature review is made.
