Abstract
A case is described of massive ovarian edema with secondary amenorrhea and evidence of masculinization in a young girl. Preoperative testosterone levels in peripheral plasma were markedly raised but returned to normal immediately following wedge resection of both ovaries. Microscopic examination revealed lutein cells in the right ovary which were predominantly located within and around atretric follicles and Stein-Leventhal-like features in the left ovary. Irregular ovulatory cycles started 4 wk after surgery.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
