Abstract

Three cases of an association of carcinoma of the ovary and pregnancy are reported. The authors stress the following points: the diagnosis should be made earlier by clinical and sonographic monitoring of pregnancy; high incidence of low-malignancy forms; fetal prognosis is particularly threatened during the first three months of pregnancy; treatment can be conservative in forms limited to one ovary.
