The most common gynecological malignancies during pregnancy are cervical cancer, followed by malignant ovarian tumors. During pregnancy, gynecological examination is limited and the rate of misdiagnosis is higher. Although the appearance of ovarian tumors during pregnancy is relatively common, most of them are functional and resolve spontaneously. Treatment during pregnancy is related to factors such as tumor size, histological type, gestational age, lymph node involvement and willingness of women to continue the pregnancy. In early-stage malignant tumors, surgery should be planned preferably after 16 weeks of pregnancy and chemotherapy can be administered from the second trimester as in non-pregnant patients. Prognosis is not affected by pregnancy. The result of pregnant woman with ovarian cancer is similar to non-pregnant patients. Keywords: Ovarian cancer, Pregnancy, Management, Diagnosis, Treatment. 332
