This case study details rare ovarian overstimulation (hyperreactio luteinalis) during pregnancy without hormone therapy. Conservative management led to a healthy delivery, highlighting spontaneous remission post-birth.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare condition causing ovarian enlargement during pregnancy.
  • It typically occurs in pregnancies with high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), such as molar pregnancies or multiple gestations.
  • This report describes a unique case in a singleton pregnancy without prior hormonal stimulation.

Observation:

  • A 26-week pregnant patient presented with a large, cystic ovarian tumor.
  • Ultrasound revealed a 103 x 57 x 78 mm polycystic mass with internal echogenic structures.
  • The tumor was located posterior to the uterus.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention (laparotomy) with partial ovarian cyst resection was performed.

  • Frozen section examination confirmed hyperreactio luteinalis and ruled out malignancy.
  • Ovarian cysts were aspirated bilaterally to prevent torsion.

    • Implications:

    • Hyperreactio luteinalis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ovarian tumors during pregnancy.
    • Conservative management, including cyst aspiration, is often appropriate.
    • Spontaneous resolution typically occurs postpartum, allowing for successful pregnancy outcomes.
