[A very large luteoma gravidarum].

Abstract

A case of luteoma gravidarum detected during cesarean section is reported for the first time in German literature. The tumor described is the biggest of its kind so far. By means of this own observation details of origin, clinical behavior, histology and therapy of this odd tumor are discussed. Nevertheless a good deal remains enigmatical and further studies will be as interesting as actual.
