Ovarian malignancies are the most common of all gynecologic cancers in older women. And these disease is the leading cause of death in all women from genital tract cancers. The types of malignancy are also markedly different in pregnant women compared with those in older women. In pregnant women, these are, in decreasing order of frequency, germ cell & sex cord-stromal tumors, low malignant potential tumors, and last, epithelial tumors. The treatment of these women is depend on how advanced the cancer is, as well as how far along they are in pregnancy. It is controversial, giving the treatment to these women, depends on their gestational age and cancer staging. Its goal is to save the life of the mother and to bring the baby as close to term as possible, so chemotherapy and radiotherapy are to be denied in 1st trimester. Surgery can be waited until after they give birth, but if the intense pain or a risk of serious complications are present, it will be necessary. Depending on the uterine size, some of these components, especially lymphadenectomy, may not be technically feasible. In this paper, we report a case of incidentally detected ovarian malignancy during pregnancy, was detected on 1st trimester, and she is waiting for fetal pulmonary maturation.
