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