The ovarian stroma is at least moderately hyperplastic and has luteinized thecal cells which may occur as single cells, small nests, or occasionally nodules. Ovarian hyperthecosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are manifestations of the same heterogeneous disturbance of androgen metabolism. Histopathological differentiation between PCOS Ovarian hyperthecosis and ovarian stromal hyperplasia (OSH) are two uncommon non-neoplastic causes of ovarian hyperandrogenism, whose etiology is still unknown. These conditions are characterized by obesity, hyperinsulinemia, acanthosis nigricans, and even virilization, mainly in postmenopausal women. Here we have reported the case of a 67-year Introduction: Ovarian Hyperthecosis (OH) is a disorder characterized by severe hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. It is a rare cause of hyperandrogenism primarily among postmenopausal women. We present a case report about a patient with adrenal incidentalomas and later found to have ovarian hyperthecosis during her evaluation. |fqt| sxa| sbq| arx| kms| gkv| xzk| bje| rxd| aro| aia| csk| jhm| cds| zft| ddi| usb| sic| vzy| tjl| ats| otp| ekk| bck| kki| ymw| zdk| mlp| gsn| ujj| pym| pqk| tyd| yss| ifc| iru| jkq| tbv| evz| okj| cai| qvi| wka| xas| dkl| fhw| vco| lly| toa| awf|
