Luteoma of pregnancy is a rare, tumorlike ovarian mass that develops during pregnancy and regresses after delivery. Generally, these masses are discovered incidentally during cesarean delivery or tubal ligation. Some of these patients will develop hirsutism or virilization during late pregnancy with or without fetal masculinization due to circulating androgens. The imaging features of this entity have been only rarely reported. An incidentally discovered luteoma of pregnancy in a 23-year-old patient during routine obstetric ultrasound is described and the image features in ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are discussed and compared with other studies. The patient underwent surgery to extract this mass considering the imaging findings were suspicious for neoplasia and the size and location could have potentially caused dystocia. This type of mass can mimic ovarian neoplasia and a correlation with imaging and laboratory findings can avoid an unnecessary surgical procedure during pregnancy.

“…Pregnancy luteoma was first described by Sternberg and Barclay in 1966 (1), and approximately 200 cases have been reported since then. Most of these patients are asymptomatic with the ovarian enlargement being incidentally discovered at the time of cesarean section or postpartum tubal ligation.…”

We report here on a 26-year-old pregnant female who developed hirsutism and virilization during her third trimester along with a significantly elevated serum testosterone level. Abdominal US and MR imaging studies were performed, and they showed unique imaging features that may suggest the diagnosis of pregnancy luteoma in the clinical context. After the delivery, the serum testosterone level continued to decrease, and it returned to normal three weeks postpartum. The follow-up imaging findings were closely correlated with the clinical presentation.

“…Alesion that may mislead is the so-called luteoma of pregnancy (Sternberg and Barclay, 1966;Norris and Taylor, 1967). It may mislead mainly on account of its high cellularity and mitotic activity; not only may mitoses number up to one per 2 hpf, they may be aberrant (Sternberg and Barclay illustrate an unequivocal triaster ).…”
