Pregnancy luteoma (PL) is a rare, non-neoplastic ovarian lesion that can mimic malignant ovarian tumors, posing significant diagnostic challenges. PL typically presents as asymptomatic, unilateral, or bilateral ovarian masses and is often discovered incidentally. Its development is linked to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, particularly elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels. While PL generally resolves postpartum, complications such as torsion may necessitate surgical intervention. We report the case of a 23-year-old primigravida presenting with acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distention at 13 weeks gestation. Imaging revealed large, bilateral multicystic ovarian masses. Elevated CA-125 levels raised suspicion for malignancy, leading to a laparotomy and bilateral oophorectomy. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of pregnancy luteoma.
妊娠黄体瘤(PL)是一种罕见的非肿瘤性卵巢病变,可酷似恶性卵巢肿瘤,带来重大诊断挑战。PL通常表现为无症状的单侧或双侧卵巢肿块,常为偶然发现。其发生与孕期激素波动有关,尤其是人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)水平升高。虽然PL通常在产后消退,但诸如扭转等并发症可能需要手术干预。我们报告一例23岁初产妇,在妊娠13周时出现急性腹痛、呕吐和腹胀。影像学检查显示双侧巨大多囊性卵巢肿块。CA-125水平升高引发了对恶性肿瘤的怀疑,导致行剖腹探查术及双侧卵巢切除术。组织病理学分析确诊为妊娠黄体瘤。
