Ovarian tumor in pregnancy is a distressing problem for the obstetrician. A physician must differentiate between a manifestation of a normal physiological condition and a serious pathological condition. Fortunately an ovarian tumor in pregnancy is rare. Once the condition is suspected, a physician should use all available tools to confirm the diagnosis. A patient should be treated accordingly, keeping in mind the age of the patient, the gestational age, and the biology of different types of the tumor.
