The management of ovarian tumors during pregnancy can be challenging because of the risk of fetal wastage and the possibility of surgery-related complications, or a delayed diagnosis of a possibly lethal disease or malignancy. The aim of this study was to study the characteristics and outcomes of pregnant women undergoing surgical intervention for ovarian tumors during pregnancy.
