    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Obstetrics
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Ovarian thecomas are rare sex cord-stromal tumors.
    • Pregnancy with an ovarian thecoma presents unique management challenges.
    • Spontaneous rupture of ovarian tumors during pregnancy is a critical event.

    Observation:

    • A patient with a pregnancy complicated by a spontaneously ruptured ovarian thecoma is described.
    • This case is compared with eleven previously reported instances of thecoma and pregnancy.

    Findings:

    • The current case represents the first reported instance of maternal survival following spontaneous rupture of an ovarian thecoma during pregnancy.
    • Despite maternal survival, the fetal outcome was poor, indicating significant risks.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the critical need for vigilant monitoring of ovarian tumors during pregnancy.
    • Improved diagnostic and management strategies are needed to mitigate risks associated with ovarian thecomas in pregnancy.
    • Further research is warranted to improve outcomes for both mother and child in such rare obstetric emergencies.
