Abstract

Pregnancy luteoma emerges as a tumour-like, gestational lesion which delineates as a self limiting, hyperplastic or non neoplastic proliferation of enlarged, luteinized ovarian cells. Additionally designated as luteoma of pregnancy or luteoma not otherwise specified (NOS), the tumour-like ovarian mass appears to retrogress spontaneously during puerperium. Morphologically, diffuse sheets of spherical cells are pervaded with abundant, eosinophilic cytoplasm and spherical nuclei. Few luteomas depict brisk mitotic activity. Precise intraoperative evaluation necessitates appropriate discernment of uniform, bland cells in addition to significant mitotic activity along with a definitive clinical history.
