Abstract

Pregnancy introduces unique challenges, including adnexal masses that can impact maternal and fetal health. To analyse the clinical and pathological features of adnexal masses detected during pregnancy and caesarean sections. This retrospective observational study, conducted at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences from 2016‐2023, aims to analyse the clinic‐pathological features of adnexal masses, particularly those >4 cm. A total of 35 patients with adnexal masses were identified among 11,425 deliveries during the study period June 2016‐2023 (0.3%). The mean age of presentation was 29.8, with more than half in their first pregnancy. The majority (77.1%) of masses were benign but four malignancies and one borderline were reported. The acute complications included torsion (17%) and haemorrhage (2%) all of which were managed through antenatal intervention, laparotomy or laparoscopy with a good pregnancy outcome. Though most of the adnexal masses can be managed conservatively, surgical intervention and histological examination in symptomatic and suspicious cases suspected of malignancy remain the treatment of choice even during pregnancy.
