Abstract: Pregnancy luteomas are rare, nonmalignant lesions thought to be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy. Granulosa cell tumor is a rare type of ovarian cancer; 10% occur during pregnancy and typically present with elevated inhibin levels. Herein, we present a case of a pregnant female with a pelvic mass and elevated inhibin B suggestive of a granulosa cell tumor, yet with final pathology consistent with a pregnancy luteoma.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: RM receives research grants under Angle Inc and consulting/speaker fees from Fujirebio Diagnostics Inc.
