Luteomas of Pregnancy

Gross specimen photograph of an ovary showing multiple nodules of luteoma of pregnancy. The ovaries were found to be enlarged at the time of cesarean section. The baby was pre-term and small for gestational age but she did not show signs of masculinization. Mother was noted to have some facial hirsutism - a feature seen in about 25% of cases of pregnancy luteomas. Courtesy of Ed Uthman, MD, Houston, Texas. Used with permission
