Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • A 32-year-old woman presented for elective termination of a 6-week pregnancy.
  • Pelvic examination and transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU) identified a complicating adnexal mass.

Observation:

  • The adnexal mass was identified during the workup for pregnancy termination.
  • Surgical intervention was deemed necessary due to the mass.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy was performed after pregnancy termination.
  • A left salpingo-oophorectomy was conducted.
  • Histologic examination confirmed the mass as an ovarian leiomyoma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare instance of an ovarian leiomyoma complicating early pregnancy.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for such cases.
  • Ovarian leiomyomas can present as adnexal masses during pregnancy, necessitating careful evaluation.
