Mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary with stromal luteinization and hilar cell hyperplasia during pregnancy. 1988

Department of Pathology, Staten Island Hospital, NY 10305.

A 32-year-old woman was delivered of a healthy, full-term infant by cesarean section, at which time a large ovarian cyst was removed. The cyst proved to be a mucinous cystadenoma with prominent luteinization of the stroma subtending the epithelium and with numerous foci of hyperplastic Leydig cells in the cyst wall and ovarian hilum. These hormonally induced changes must be recognized in order to avoid mistaking them for invasive epithelial components.
