The incidence of ovarian tumor in pregnancy is 2.4-5.7%of which 5% are malignant. A 26-year-old primigravida was diagnosed with benign ovarian cyst during first trimester ultrasound. Elective LSCS with left oophorectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed malignant ovarian tumor (high grade serous carcinoma). The objective of this report is to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and management of ovarian tumor in pregnancy.
