At both of them the level of human chorionic gonadotropin was above normal, one of the patients had medical history of ovarian serous borderline tumor and this pregnancy was multiple after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Adnexectomy, resection of ovaries and biopsy were carried out. Histologically hyperreactio luteinalis was confirmed in both patients.
Conclusion: We discuss the necessity of surgical treat-ment, the authors want to emphasize the need for proper preoperative diagnosis and indication of conservative management of patients with hyperreactio luteinalis.
