A luteoma is a tumor that occurs in the ovaries during pregnancy. It is associated with an increase of sex hormones, primarily progesterone and testosterone. [1] [2] The size of the tumor can range from 1 to 25 cm in diameter, but is usually 6 to 10 cm in diameter [3] and can grow throughout the duration of the pregnancy. [4]
The levels of hCG in the body increase rapidly in the first few weeks of pregnancy, doubling every 48–72 hours. [7] The highest level of hCG is reached in week 10 or week 11, later the levels of hCG can be used to estimate the age of the fetus and monitor the progress of the pregnancy. [6]

Physiological (i.e., non-pathological) causes that can increase prolactin levels include: ovulation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, chest wall injury, stress, stress-associated REM sleep, and exercise. [ 20 ] [ 4 ] [ 21 ] During pregnancy, prolactin increases can range up to 600 ng/mL, depending on estrogen and progesterone concentrations.
Treatment with progesterone in the third trimester of pregnancy has been shown to be associated with the development of ICP, and levels of metabolites of progesterone, particularly sulfated progesterone, [12] are higher in patients with ICP than unaffected women, suggesting that progesterone may have a bigger role than estrogen in ICP. [13]
The alphanumeric coding in ICD-10 is an improvement from ICD-9 which had a limited number of codes and a restrictive structure. [49] Early concerns in the implementation of ICD-10 included the cost and the availability of resources for training healthcare workers and professional coders. [60]
