  • Title: Peritoneal inclusion cysts in pregnancy, a diagnostic challenge.
    Author: Hitzerd E, Jeurgens-Borst AJ, Pijnenborg JM.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2014 Jun 13; 2014():. PubMed ID: 24928933.
    Abstract:
    A cystic pelvic mass detected during pregnancy is not uncommon, but can be a diagnostic challenge. Most of these pelvic masses are benign ovarian cysts and resolve spontaneously. However, rare non-ovarian causes can complicate the diagnostic and therapeutic management. In this report an unusual case is presented of a 27-year-old pregnant woman with an atypical multicystic lesion in the pelvis, seen on routine first trimester ultrasound. A laparoscopic exploration was performed to rule out ovarian malignancy, and after histological analysis she was diagnosed with peritoneal inclusion cysts. The diagnostic and therapeutic challenges inherent to this rare non-ovarian disease are addressed in this case report.
