This was a 30 year old lady referred for 2nd opinion for fetal lower abdominal mass.
There was no history of any consanguinity.
The lower abdomen showed a predominantly cystic mass with septations and internal echoes .
This was distinct from the urinary bladder and the kidneys. Both the kidneys showed mild pelviectasis.
The diagnosis offered was probable ovarian cyst with a D.D. of mesenteric cyst
yes, hemorrhagic ovarian cyst assuming it’s a female fetus.

Several possibilities come to mind in the differential, the whole spectrum of what could be expected in a female fetus, including hemmorhagic cyst as mentioned, dermoid, mesenteric cyst, peritoneal cyst.

Mesenteric cyst is a DD.
I felt it was not the ureter

I wouldn’t think it’s a dermoid without seeing any calcifications right away. I don’t see any pictures with color flow to show if there was flow with the septation or ? tissues. By any chance, did you optain any?
