Abstract

Presentation of Case A 13-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital because of amenorrhea and hirsutism. Her previous medical history was unremarkable.

During the year before entry she had a weight gain of 9 kg and noticed increasing hair growth on her face and nipples. Six months before entry a typical menstrual period occurred and lasted for five days; thereafter she was amenorrheic. Six weeks before admission.
