JBRA Assist Reprod. 2023 Sep 12;27(3):572-575. doi: 10.5935/1518-0557.20220061.

Abstract

An ovarian benign cyst is a common finding in women of reproductive age. However both the disease and its treatment may have an impact on ovarian reserve, resulting in a significant risk of premature ovarian insufficiency. The counselling on fertility preservation is of paramount importance in such cases. We report the management of a young woman with giant bilateral benign adnexal cysts, highlighting the complexity of fertility preservation in such scenario.

Keywords: adnexal cysts; cystadenoma; fertility preservation; ovarian insufficiency; teratoma.
