Modern Approaches to the Diagnosis and Complex Treatment of the Development of Fibrocystic Mastopathy against the Background of Ovarian Cysts in Women

The aim of this literature review is to enhance the theoretical knowledge of obstetricians-gynecologists, general practitioners, master's students, and clinical residents regarding cystic changes in the ovaries in the context of fibrocystic mastopathy, based on data from foreign and domestic sources.

The occurrence of a huge ovarian cyst in pregnancy is an uncommon clinical finding, with an incidence of less than 1% of pregnancies. These cysts, especially those greater than 10 cm in diameter, present serious maternal-fetal dangers, including torsion, rupture, preterm labor, and, in some few cases, malignancy. Our patient had an ovarian cyst of 27.4 cm in diameter diagnosed in the first trimester, which underlines the significance of timely diagnosis. The patient’s presentation with abdominal pain, on-and-off pain, and bloating was typical of a large ovarian mass, but still, her 13-week gestation complicated the clinical picture.
