Abstract

Ovarian cancer during pregnancy is a complex situation that endangers the lives of both the pregnant female and the fetus. We present a 40-year-old pregnant female in the third trimester with bilateral undifferentiated ovarian adenocarcinoma and vaginal metastasis. The case was evaluated by ultrasound and MRI supported with diffusion-weighted sequence.
