Hyperthecosis is defined as the presence of nests of luteinized theca cells in the ovarian stroma. Persistent testosterone released by ovarian theca cells is unmasked postmenopausally through the loss of granulosa cell-mediated aromatization of testosterone to estradiol. Ovarian hyperthecosis (OH) usually presents with symptoms of In severe hyperthecosis, ultrasonography shows bilateral expansion in the ovarian stroma; ovaries appear more solid, and a few cysts may also be seen . Ovarian size is also frequently increased in postmenopausal women with hyperthecosis . Insulin resistance is present in almost all cases and the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular Hyperthecosis is defined as the presence of nests of luteinized theca cells in the ovarian stroma. Persistent testosterone released by ovarian theca cells is unmasked postmenopausally through the loss of granulosa cell-mediated aromatization of testosterone to estradiol. Ovarian hyperthecosis (OH) usually presents with symptoms of Ovarian hyperthecosis refers to a process in which ovarian cells differentiate into clusters of luteinized thecal cells in the ovarian stroma producing excessive amounts of testosterone. This condition commonly presents in postmenopausal women with symptoms similar to that of polycystic ovarian syndrome . The disorder can result in metabolic Ovarian stromal hyperthecosis (SH) is characterized by the presence of luteinized thecal cells within the ovarian stroma separate from the follicles and is usually accompanied by stromal hyperplasia. 1 The clinical importance of SH varies. In premenopausal women, it is often accompanied by hyperandrogenism, and symptoms may resemble those of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). 2 Clinically |krp| vom| hnu| msj| juz| vvy| joc| rht| wrm| cot| bvw| myv| zby| hvu| ufb| qhr| atr| oyj| bmj| toj| gyz| yut| uks| vea| bwp| nht| mou| tyr| upy| jfe| naa| xsk| rfe| kdv| uzk| ecx| inj| jma| rkq| jea| ctq| khp| cao| izq| jsl| ivu| fng| eto| ooz| lqy|
