Abstract
A case of a patient with bilateral, multicentric “pregnancy luteomas” of the ovary has been presented. These rare tumors were associated with androgenic hormone secretion as evidenced by masculinization of her female infant and a very high urinary 17-ketosteroid level on the day of her delivery. This hormone level declined after unilateral oophorectomy 4 days post partum. In addition, the tumors were found to have regressed in the postpartum period as demonstrated when her second ovary was removed.
