An unusual case of theca lutein cysts in a normal twin pregnancy is described. An ultrasound scan at 11 weeks’ gestation showed bilateral theca lutein cysts. When rescanned at 19 weeks’ gestation, the theca lutein cysts were no longer present. Spontaneous regression during pregnancy of naturally occurring theca lutein cysts has not previously been reported.
