Bilateral luteomas of pregnancy in a patient with diabetes.
A patient with diabetes and luteomas of the ovaries demonstrated a significant and progressive rise in the serum levels of androstenedione and testosterone during pregnancy. The levels of these hormones were also elevated in cord blood and ovarian fluid. The increased insulin requirement to maintain euglycemia was observed at an earlier date in this pregnancy than in her previous pregnancy.
