Massive ovarian edema (MOE) is a rare benign condition presenting as unilateral ovarian enlargement with stromal edema, and only a limited number of MOE cases during pregnancy have been reported. MOE is often complicated by ovarian torsion, which requires detorsion. Although the diagnosis of MOE can be made using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, its rarity makes diagnosis difficult, usually leading to overtreatment.
