Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare condition in pregnancy characterized by enlarged ovaries with multiple theca luteal cysts, and recurrence of disease has seldom been documented in the literature. This is a case report of a woman who developed recurrent hyperreactio luteinalis with three spontaneous pregnancies. Endocrine evaluation was performed and revealed hyperandrogenism. Ultrasonography was used to assess the ovaries throughout each pregnancy. The ovarian cysts required drainage in the first pregnancy due to severe distention and shortness of breath. Cyst resolution occurred in the post-partum period following each pregnancy. 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 44:502-505, 2016.
