MeSH definition : An ovarian neoplasm composed of LUTEAL CELLS derived from luteinized GRANULOSA CELLS
and THECA CELLS. Luteomas respond to GONADOTROPINS, and vary in their hormone production
(PROGESTERONE; ESTROGENS; or ANDROGENS). During PREGNANCY, a transient type of luteoma
may develop due to an exaggerated LUTEINIZATION of the OVARY.;
