"Corpus luteal (CL) cysts are a type of functional ovarian cyst that results when a corpus luteum fails to regress following the release of an ovum. When associated with pregnancy, it is the most common pelvic mass encountered within the 1st trimester. There is also some overlap with the term "haemorrhagic corpus luteum"."
"The natural history of a normal corpus luteum is to regress by the end of the 1st trimester if pregnancy has occurred. If a corpus luteum fails to regress and instead enlarges with or without haemorrhage, a corpus luteum cyst is formed. There is some overlap in the definitions of a corpus luteum cyst and a haemorrhagic corpus luteum 5."
