Hyperreactio luteinalis associated with fetal hyperandrogenism and cystic hygroma

Abstract

Abstract A 23‐year‐old woman with a gestational age of 17 weeks presented with abdominal pain. The ultrasound showed maternal hyperreactio luteinalis with fetal cystic hygroma. After termination of pregnancy, the female fetus showed masculinization features with muscular hypertrophy. The hyperreactio luteinalis regressed under hormonal suppression therapy.
