It generally does not affect pregnancy course and can be observed and diagnosed incidentally in third trimester. The cysts and, consequently, the ovaries regress spontaneously after delivery due to decrease in hCG. This report describes a case of HL in a 29-year-old primiparous woman with dyspnea, pelvic pain and clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, with the ovaries enlarged on transvaginal ultrasound. The conduct was expectant and, during delivery, a biopsy was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis. The knowledge of benign and self-limited disease defends a conservative treatment and helps in differentiation between HL and other malignant diseases. It is, therefore, essential that obstetricians are familiar with HL to guide the correct management and avoid unnecessary iatrogenic procedures. Keywords: Ovarian diseases. Ovarian Cysts. Theca cells. RESUMO A hiperreação luteínica (HL) é uma condição muito rara e benigna relacionada à gravidez, na qual há um aumento maciço e funcional dos ovários, ocupados por múltiplos cistos teca luteínicos benignos. Geralmente não afeta o curso da gravidez e pode ser observada e diagnosticada incidentalmente no terceiro trimestre. Os cistos e, consequentemente, os ovários regridem espontaneamente após o parto por conta da diminuição de hCG. Este relato descreve um caso de HL em primigesta de 29 anos com dispneia, dor pélvica e sinais clínicos de hiperandrogenismo, apresentando os ovários aumentados na ultrassonografia transvaginal. A conduta foi expectante e, durante o parto, foi realizada biópsia, que confirmou o diagnóstico. O conhecimento da doença benigna e autolimitada defende um tratamento conservador e auxilia na diferenciação entre a síndrome e outras doenças malignas. É, portanto, essencial que obstetras estejam familiarizados com a HL para direcionar o correto manejo e evitar desnecessários procedimentos iatrogênicos. Palavras-chaves: Doenças ovarianas.

About 100 cases of HL have been reported in literature, with the majority of cases in multiparous patients, with multiple pregnancies, with gestational trophoblastic disease or undergoing infertility treatment1,4. This condition is very rare in a single spontaneous pregnancy5-6. HL is a gestational syndrome that generally does not affect pregnancy course and can be observed and diagnosed incidentally in third trimester2,7. In most cases, there are no symptoms, but it can lead to nausea and vomiting, lower abdominal pain, loss of appetite, electrolyte disorders, ascites and signs of virilization (such as hirsutism and clitoromegaly)2. Although etiology is still unknown, it is believed the cysts' formation is associated with high serum level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or with increased ovarian sensitivity to hCG, causing increased production of ovarian androgens1. In this study, we report a primigravid patient with spontaneous bilateral ovarian enlargement during a normal singleton pregnancy, in which the diagnosis of HL was made in an obstetrics service in Sergipe. 2 CASE DESCRIPTION A 29-year-old primiparous patient, with no comorbidities, clinical, gynecological or surgical history, started normal prenatal single gestation with 10 weeks in a private service in Aracaju, Sergipe. The patient reported symptoms of dyspnoea and pelvic pain and she had clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism, acne and alopecia. On transvaginal ultrasound (USG TVS), at 24 weeks, a solid cystic mass was observed in left ovary, with 89 cm3 (Figure 1), and an MRI was requested, which confirmed the presence of a multi- sept cystic mass. β-hCG was requested, resulting in 1084.13 mIU/mL. The conduct, after a literary review, was expectant, waiting for the moment of delivery to perform a biopsy.

Transvaginal ultrasound of left ovary, with 89 cm3, showing a multi-sept cystic mass in a pregnant woman at 24 weeks of gestation In obstetric ultrasonography with doppler, at 37 weeks, the mass reached 366 cm3, with numerous regular, thick and vascularized septa, in addition to showing another cyst in right ovary, with the same characteristics of the left, of 430 cm3. Previously, two other obstetric ultrasounds, performed at 33 and 34 weeks, demonstrated ovaries with the same characteristics. The 33-week ultrasound presented a left ovary with 247cm3 (Figure 2) and a right ovary with 262cm3 (Figure 3), and the 34-week ultrasound showed a left ovary with 284cm3 and a right ovary 299cm3.

Transvaginal ultrasound of right ovary, 247 cm3, with multi-sept cystic mass in a pregnant woman at 33 weeks of gestation. There was no anticipation of delivery, and a cesarean section was performed at 40 weeks of gestation, associated with oophoroplasty for biopsy (Figures 4 e 5), in August 2017. The result showed in both ovaries luteinized follicular cysts, with hemorrhagic corpus lutein on the left. In September 2017, USG TVS was performed, which showed a reduction in volumes to 211cm3 and 247cm3 in right and left ovaries, respectively, followed by monitoring and USG TVS. In March 2019, another USG TVS showed ovaries with volumes 21.7cm3 to the right and 21.5cm3 to the left.

    Diagnosis and Management of Adnexal Masses VANESSA GIVENS, MD; GREGG MITCHELL, MD; CAROLYN HARRAWAY-SMITH, MD; AVINASH REDDY, MD; and DAVID L. MANESS, DO, MSS, University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine, Memphis, Tennessee Adnexal masses represent a spectrum of conditions from gynecologic and nongynecologic sources. They may be benign or malignant. The initial detection and evaluation of an adnexal mass requires a high index of suspicion, a thorough history and physical examination, and careful attention to subtle historical clues. Timely, appropriate labo- ratory and radiographic studies are required. The most common symptoms reported by women with ovarian cancer are pelvic or abdominal pain; increased abdominal size; bloating; urinary urgency, frequency, or incontinence; early satiety; difficulty eating; and weight loss. These vague symptoms are present for months in up to 93 percent of patients with ovarian cancer. Any of these symptoms occurring daily for more than two weeks, or with failure to respond to appropriate therapy warrant further evaluation. Transvaginal ultrasonography remains the standard for evaluation of adnexal masses. Findings suggestive of malignancy in an adnexal mass include a solid component, thick septations (greater than 2 to 3 mm), bilaterality, Doppler flow to the solid component of the mass, and presence of ascites. Fam- ily physicians can manage many nonmalignant adnexal masses; however, prepubescent girls and postmenopausal women with an adnexal mass should be referred to a gynecologist or gynecologic oncologist for further treatment. All women, regardless of menopausal status, should be referred if they have evidence of metastatic disease, ascites, a complex mass, an adnexal mass greater than 10 cm, or any mass that persists longer than 12 weeks.

  • 1. Upward Movement of the Thyroid Gland Is Prevented Due To?
    1. Upward movement of the thyroid gland is prevented due to? a) Berry ligament b) Pretracheal fascia c) Sternothyroid muscle d) Thyrohyoid membrane Correct Answer - B Ans: B. Pretracheal fascia The thyroid gland is covered by a thin fibrous capsule, which has an inner and an outer layer. The inner layer extrudes into the gland and forms the septum that divides the thyroid tissue into microscopic lobules. The outer layer is continuous with the pretracheal fascia, attaching the gland to the cricoid and thyroid cartilages via a thickening of the fascia to form the posterior suspensory ligament of the thyroid gland also known as Berry's ligament. This causes the thyroid to move up and down with the movement of these cartilages when swallowing occurs. Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice, 41e ,Page no 470 2.

  • Experience of Persistent Gestational Trophoblastic Disease in a Tertiary
    Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2012; Vol. 27(2) : 50-56 Experience of Persistent Gestational Trophoblastic Disease in a Tertiary Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh NAHAR KAMRUN1, YESMIN HALIMA2, ROY KANIKA3, ALAM SAFIUL4, KHATUN KASHEFA5 Abstract: Objectives: To study the clinical presentation and risk factors of persistent trophoblastic disease and its outcome of treatment with chemotherapy. Materials and methods: This observational study was carried out on fifty patients of persistent trophoblastic disease who were admitted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Mymensingh Medical Hospital (MMCH) during one year period. Evaluation of disease was done by thorough clinical examination and a set of investigations including chest radiography, ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis and estimation of serum â hCG. The four factors under analysis of PTD were age of the patient, clinical presentation, gestational age at diagnosis of molar pregnancy and nature of antecedent pregnancy. Patients with non-metastatic trophoblastic disease and low risk metastatic trophoblastic disease were offered single agent chemotherapy with methotrexate and folinic acid rescue in consultation with the oncologist.
