Objective: To determine the optimum management of ovarian cyst in association with pregnancy
Setting and duration: From January 1999 to December 2003 in Gynae Unit I, Jinnah Hospital Lahore and Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital, Lahore
Patients and methods: 21 patients were included in this study. All patients presented in early 2nd trimester of pregnancy [14-26 weeks]. Simple ovarian cysts were seen in 20 patients. One patient had a multiseptate cyst and had cystic and solid areas
Results: 2 [9.52%] patients had laparotomy for cyst removal in the puerperium; 4 [19.04%] had cystectomy at the time of LSCS while 71.4% [15 patients] had laparotomy for ovarian cystectomy during pregnancy due to torsion. The histopathology report was follicular cysts in 20 patients [95.23%] while 1 [4.76%] had a germ cell tumour. This patient was given PEB [cisplatin, epirubicin and bleomycin] chemotherapy after 20 weeks of gestation
Conclusion: Ovarian cyst in combination with pregnancy is seen in 0.01% of pregnancies. Management depends upon the presentation and symptoms. Laparotomy done in the 2,d trimester usually does not cause fetal loss. The cysts are usually benign with malignancy seen very rarely
