LOPEZ-FERNANDEZ, José; LOPEZ-TOMASSETTI FERNANDEZ, Eudaldo  e  HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ, Juan Ramón. Minimally invasive surgery of a giant abdominal cyst tumor in a puerperal patient. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2016, vol.42, n.4, pp. 537-542. ISSN 1561-3062.

The incidence of adnexal masses diagnosed in pregnancy varies by the different consulted series; however, over 6cm long masses represent exceptional cases in literature. The management of this type of patients is a challenge for the multidisciplinary team since the risk of ovarian cancer should be taken into consideration in this type of patients. This is a 34 years-old pregnant patient who was diagnosed with giant adnexal mass during the echographic control of the first trimester. Due to the lack of fetal distress and the radiological characteristics of the lesion, it was decided to keep surveillance to wait for the vaginal delivery and to perform an elective surgery to remove the lesion. After the childbirth, the patient suffered a process of anemia, so it was decided to prioritize surgery. The mass was excised through a minimally invasive approach. Both the mother and the newborn had favorable recovery and the patient was discharged from hospital three days after surgery.
