Adnexal Masses in Pregnancy

ABSTRACT With the increased use of ultrasound in the first trimester, up to 4.5% of all pregnancies are diagnosed with an adnexal mass. The management of asymptomatic adnexal masses in pregnancy continues to be controversial. Potential complications include torsion and malignancy. This review will highlight the utility of ultrasound in generating a differential diagnosis for an adnexal mass based on their ultrasound characteristics. It will also review management options for the asymptomatic patient including expectant management and laparoscopic removal. How to cite this article Harris S, Ausbeck E, Goh W.
