Abstract
The incidence of ovarian tumor in pregnancy is 2.4-5.7%of which 5% are malignant. A 26-year-old primigravida was diagnosed with benign ovarian cyst during first trimester ultrasound.

The objective of this report is to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and management of ovarian tumor in pregnancy.
