Abstract

From 2 to 5% of ovarian masses diagnosed during pregnancy are malignant. The Pregnancy State does not seem to have a direct adverse effect on the prognosis of the patients with ovarian malignancy tumors. It is required a good classification by stages during the surgical procedure to establish the proper treatment.

We present a case of a 35 years old woman diagnosed and treated in Hospital San Rafael from Tunja, Colombia, with 20 weeks of gestation and ovarian giant tumors, which was classified on pathological study how mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. We review the literature of ovarian tumors and pregnancy.
