Abstract
A 32‐year‐old woman, gravida 4, para 3, had a benign right ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. It was diagnosed 1 month before conception, measured 9 × 7 cm, and reached 33 × 24 × 20 cm at 38 weeks gestation. Cesarean delivery of a 2250 g normal female infant took place, and the removal of a 6300 g right ovarian cystic mass was also performed. Microscopic and immunohistochemical studies of the cyst wall revealed stromal luteinization and a strong reaction with antiserum to testosterone, estrogen and progesterone.
