Zusammenfassung: | Pregnancy luteoma is a non-neoplastic lesion of the ovary occurring
during pregnancy and is usually discovered incidentally at the
time of a cesarean section or during postpartum tubal ligation. An

surgery. We report a case of a pregnant female who was discovered
to have bilateral enlarged ovaries at the time of emergency cesarean
section. |
