Abstrakt: Adnexal masses are relatively common, contributing to gynecologist office volume and surgical case load. The development of minimally invasive techniques and a greater focus on fertility preservation have led to the favoring of a laparoscopic approach with ovarian cystectomy, when possible. We report the case of a young woman presenting with two simultaneous, distinct ovarian masses who was successfully treated by laparoscopy with preservation of both gonads. A minimally invasive surgical approach by laparoscopy with preservation of both ovaries is feasible and crucial, even in rare and difficult cases such as the case presented.
