Serous borderline ovarian tumor and pregnancy. Clinical case

Abstract

The article presents a case of diagnosis and surgical treatment of a serous borderline ovarian tumor in a patient in the first trimester of pregnancy. Instrumental diagnosis of ovarian tumors during pregnancy includes ultrasound examination throughout pregnancy and magnetic resonance imaging in the second and third trimesters. Dynamic ultrasound of the uterus and its appendages showed a tumor of the right ovary, its growth and structural changes were observed leading to suspicions of malignancy. An operation was performed: laparoscopic adnexectomy on the right with express histological examination, lavage of the abdominal cavity, resection of the greater omentum, biopsy of the abdominal membrane. Histological examination confirmed serous borderline ovarian tumor. Subsequent medical care was aimed towards pregnancy prolongation. The described case of serous borderline tumor corresponded to stage I of the disease which allows to hope for a favorable prognosis for the performed surgical treatment.
