Yolk Sac Tumour of the Ovary in Pregnancy Treated With Surgery and Chemotherapy: A Case Report.

Background: Ovarian carcinoma diagnosed in pregnancy is rare. Treatment should take both mother and fetus into consideration.
Case: We present the case of a patient diagnosed with a stage IC1 yolk sac tumour of the ovary at 15 weeks gestation, who underwent surgical staging and adjuvant chemotherapy during pregnancy. Intrauterine growth restriction was diagnosed and the patient delivered by cesarean at 36 weeks gestation for obstructed labour.
Conclusion: Yolk sac tumour of the ovary in pregnancy with concomitant chemotherapy is uncommon. Adverse outcomes, including restricted fetal growth, are possible and their identification may help guide timing of delivery.
