Resumen
Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 29 años de edad, primigrávida con quistes teca-luteínicos bilaterales y una elevación importante de la gonadotropina coriónica humana, sin evidencias de enfermedad trofoblástica ni de uso de fármacos inductores de la ovulación. El parto se resolvió mediante cesárea, nació un varón sano y no se encontró patología en la placenta. Los quistes regresaron de forma espontánea.
