Laparoscopic tumorectomy for a primary ovarian leiomyoma during pregnancy: A case report
Few reports have explored laparoscopic adnexal tumorectomy as a treatment for large and symptomatic ovarian leiomyomas during pregnancy. The current study presents the case of a patient with a large and symptomatic ovarian leiomyoma at 14 weeks of pregnancy. A laparoscopic adnexal tumorectomy was pe...

description | Few reports have explored laparoscopic adnexal tumorectomy as a treatment for large and symptomatic ovarian leiomyomas during pregnancy. The current study presents the case of a patient with a large and symptomatic ovarian leiomyoma at 14 weeks of pregnancy. A laparoscopic adnexal tumorectomy was performed without complications. The laparoscopic management of large primary ovarian leiomyoma during pregnancy has not been reported in literature. Therefore, laparoscopy may be considered as a minimally invasive and feasible alternative to laparotomy for the treatment of large ovarian solid tumors during pregnancy, resulting in reduced postoperative pain, a smaller scar and shorter recovery time. By contrast, with respect to the ovarian solid tumor, surgery prior to gestation is advised, even for tumors of <3 cm in diameter, due to the probability of rapid growth of the tumor during pregnancy. |
