Abstract

Luteoma of pregnancy is a rare nonneoplastic tumorlike mass of the ovary that emerges during pregnancy and regresses spontaneously after delivery. It is usually asymptomatic and is found incidentally during a sectio abdominalis or postpartum tubal sterilization. Luteoma of pregnancy can be of extremely varying sizes. They are usually multiple, well boarded, containing nodules and are bilateral in 45 % of the patients. Luteomas can be honnonally active. In addition, they cause maternal and fetal hirsutism and virilization with production of androgenes.

Özet

Gebelik luteoması gebelikte ortaya çıkan ve doğum sonrası spontan gerileyebilen överin nadir nonneoplastik tümör benzeri kitleleridir. Sıklıkla asemptomatiktir ve sezeryan veya postpartum tubal sterilizasyon sırasında tesadüfen tespit edilmektedirler. Gebelik luteoması çok değişik büyüklükte olabilir. Genellikle multipl, iyi sınırlı, nodüller içeren ve olguların %45'inde bilateral ortaya çıkan ovaryan kitlelerdir. Luteomalar hormonal olarak aktif olabilmektedir. Ayrıca, androjen salgılanmasına bağlı maternal-fetal hirsitusmus ve virilizasyona neden olabilmektedirler.
