XXXX in pregnancy: a literature review.

@entity43 @entity5
@entity43 in pregnancy are a diagnostic and management challenge that is increasingly being faced by the clinician. While most masses are benign and resolve spontaneously, there are others that persist and indicate the need for surgical management. Ultrasound not only detects asymptomatic masses but also helps to guide their management based on presence or absence of features suspicious of @entity5 . The role of @entity5 markers in pregnancy is limited due to their non-specific nature. Most masses treated in pregnancy are benign (most commonly dermoids), and most @entity5 are either of low malignant potential or germ cell @entity5 , usually early stage disease. Surgical management is indicated for symptomatic masses or those with increasing size or complexity indicating possible @entity5 . Both laparoscopy and laparotomy have similar results with regard to obstetric outcome. Conservative management is preferred in the remainder. MRI may help in better characterization of doubtful masses. National @entity5 registries can help to establish guidelines.
