Abstract:
Case report of a girl with PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) and Sertoli-Leydig ovarian tumour. A sixteen-year old girl was clinically, endocrinologically, echosonographically and laparoscopically examined, and polycystic ovarian disease was diagnosed. After a two-year period she was reexamined: normal adrenal function was confirmed and left ovarian tumour was discovered echosonographically. Therefore, she was operated on and adnexectomy of the left ovarian tumour and biopsy of the right ovary were done. The histopathologic analysis revealed the Sertoli-Leydig tumour of the left ovary and polycystic degeneration of the right ovary. In conclusion, because of the greater frequency of ovarian tumours in women with PCOD, the permanent follow-up of women with PCOD is necessary.

Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
