ABSTRACT
The detection of a pelvic mass during pregnancy is uncommon. Most of them are benigns and they usually disapear by the second trimester of gestation, or keep asintomatic until the resolucion of the pregnancy. The persistence, the size and the ultrasonografic caracteristics represents a mayor concern related to the obstetrical management and the complications. We report a case of a woman at the 15 week of gestation with torsión of a pedunculated mioma mimicking in the ultrasonografic image an ovarian tumor.
