Abstract
Ovarian masses greater than 5 cm are rare during pregnancy. We report six pregnant women with an ovarian mass more than 5 cm and operated during pregnancy or at the time of cesarean delivery. Elective surgery in second trimester of pregnancy is safe. Emergency surgery is required for complication such as torsion or hemorrhage. Complication of emergency antenatal surgery can be reduced by proper care. Malignant ovarian mass is uncommon during pregnancy. Ultrasound morphology is quite accurate to decide characteristic of mass and further management. Careful selection of ovarian mass is important for expectant management till term.
