ASENCIO AGUEDO, Angélica Yeyli  and  CERRILLO ALVAREZ, Gustavo Gino. Luteoma of pregnancy. A case report. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2018, vol.64, n.3, pp.479-482. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v64i2115.

Luteoma of pregnancy is an infrequent non-neoplastic pathology of the ovary. It is usually an incidental finding during the evaluation of a pregnant patient in the third trimester or during a cesarean section. Occasionally, it may raise suspicion of cancer, resulting in unnecessary surgical resection of the ovary. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who was in her third pregnancy and during the cesarean section, a 9 cm tumor of the right ovary was incidentally found and resected. The histological study was compatible with luteoma of pregnancy.

Keywords : Pregnancy luteoma; Cesarean section; Postpartum.
