Question

Which of the following is true about luteoma of pregnancy?

• A. Usually bilateral
• B. It is a benign self limiting condition
• C. It consists of luteinized cells
• D. All of the above

Hint:

Bilateral, luteinized, and resolves after delivery - all the listed features apply.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Luteoma of pregnancy is a non-neoplastic, tumour-like enlargement of the ovary that develops during pregnancy in response to high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin.

Step 2: It typically appears as bilateral, multinodular, solid ovarian masses, so the statement that it is usually bilateral is correct.

Step 3: Histologically, normal ovarian tissue is replaced by a solid proliferation of luteinized stromal cells, so the option about luteinized cells is also correct.

Step 4: It is a benign, self-limiting condition that regresses spontaneously after delivery and needs no treatment. Since all three statements are true, the answer is all of the above.
