On histopathology 44% of tumour are epithelial tumour. All 8 cases diagnosed during second and third trimesters underwent staging laparotomy with conservative surgical management which included USO, omentectomy & multiple biopsy. Caesarian hysterectomy was done at 36 weeks of gestation in all above 8 cases. All asymptomatic cases diagnosed during routine inspection of ovaries and tubes at caesarian delivery underwent caesarian hysterectomy with BSO, omentectomy and multiple site biopsies after confirmation of frozen section.
