The incidence of gestational hyperandrogenism secondary to ovarian pathology is low. However, when the condition does exist, diagnosis should be made with minimally invasive modalities. It is important to provide appropriate medical/surgical intervention without disturbing the pregnancy iatrogenically or causing unnecessary maternal morbidity. This case report adds to the existing radiographic data concerning this rare obstetrical condition. Presented is a review of the English literature on virilizing ovarian tumors during pregnancy, and a discussion of an approach to managing these tumors when they occur during pregnancy.
