Large luteinized follicular cyst of pregnancy and puerperium.
The case we have reported is that of the largest luteinized follicular cyst of pregnancy and puerperium described. Histologically, distinct layers of both luteinized granulosa and theca cells were observed in this case, in contrast to those described previously. Nuclear atypia was prominent and appeared to be degenerative.
