Abstract
Ovarian teratomas are germ cell tumours, being mature cystic teratoma the most common variant.
This case describes a 38-year-old woman, 14 weeks and 4 days pregnant, with abdominal pain in the left quadrant. On abdominal palpation, was found a hard mass, with intense pain upon mobilization. It was requested an abdominal ultrasound that revealed a heterogeneous isoechoic nodular area in the left ovary measuring 91 x 79 x 65 mm. A pelvic nuclear magnetic resonance was performed and identified a Rokitansky nodule. She performed a left oophorectomy at 19 weeks, without complications.
Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary, despite being a rare disorder, is the most common benign ovarian tumor during pregnancy.
