pubmed:abstractText
We describe a 15 1/2 year old presenting with primary amenorrhea, hirsutism, acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance. Ovarian vein catheterization studies revealed bilateral excess plasma testosterone and androstenedione secretion, and at surgery multiple dermoid cysts of both ovaries were found in association with polycystic ovaries. The suggestion that the dermoid cysts may be causative in the evolution of the polycystic ovarian disease has been made. The mechanism of the insulin resistance appears to be at the post receptor level. The acanthosis nigricans diminished following surgery with normalization of the plasma androgens.
