Salpingo-oophorectomy for twisted ovarian dysgerminoma in a prestigious pregnancy: challenges and outcomes. A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Cancer during pregnancy is uncommon. Symptoms caused by ovarian dysgerminoma in pregnancy can be difficult to recognize, leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. In addition, treatment of twisted ovarian dysgerminoma in pregnancy to improve the maternal and perinatal outcomes is the main challenges that confront obstetricians and gynecologic oncologists because surgery often results in preterm labor and delivery. Case presentation: A 29-year-old woman primigravida came with severe lower abdominal pain. An intrauterine foetus at 19 weeks of gestation and an enlarged left ovarian mass measuring 15.3 × 10.3 × 8 cm were discovered by pelvic ultrasonography. A left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, and the histology revealed an ovarian dysgerminoma. She had a spontaneous vaginal delivery at term. Discussion: Dysgerminoma is the most frequent malignant ovarian germ cell tumor in females. Due to physiological changes, it may be a challenge to diagnose ovarian torsion in early pregnancy. In addition, the treatment of large ovarian tumors in pregnancy is a challenge because surgery often results in preterm labor and delivery. Fertility-sparing surgery is acceptable in young women. Chemotherapy for ovarian dysgerminoma is recommended for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages II, III, and IV. Conclusion: There are many challenges when performing salpingo-oophorectomy for a large twisted ovarian tumor in early pregnancy. The decision must balance the risks of surgery against the possibility of losing the pregnancy and the urgency of acting to protect the mother's health. The management depends on the gestational age, tumor stage, and the patient's desire to continue the pregnancy.
