1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey
*Corresponding Author(s): Y. Engin-Ustun E-mail:
Gynecologic malignancies are rarely associated with pregnancy and ovarian tumors diagnosed during cesarean section are very uncommon. A 38-year-old grandmultipara with no prenatal care was hospitalized at an estimated 28 weeks of gestation for high blood pressure and increased proteinuria but no other symptoms of preeclampsia. We present a rare case of advanced ovarian carcinoma diagnosed during cesarean section.
