ABSTRACT
A 22 year old primigravida with full term pregnancy with morbid obesity and short stature presented to us with complaints of labour pains six hours prior to admission. Her dating, anomaly and term growth scan showed a single live intrauterine foetus with foetal heart rate, amniotic fluid and growth parameters corresponding to the gestational age with no significant anomalies and normal adnexa.Following a thorough examination and pelvic assessment, diagnosis of cephalopelvic disproportion was made and the patient was posted for emergency caesarean section. A healthy male baby of weight 3.5 Kg extracted and the placenta and membrane were expelled in toto. Uterus was closed in double layer. On examination of adnexal structures, a right sided ovarian mass of around 10 x 8 x 6 cms of size, solid in consistency and proliferative in appearance was found. Suspecting it to be a malignancy and due to the unavailability of frozen section facility, a right sided oophorectomy was performed, and the specimen was sent for histopathological reporting which revealed a diagnosis of pregnancy luteoma of ovary
