Abstract EN
A 14 year old female complained of abdominal pain and distention with vomiting.
The physical exam showed thyroid enlargement and ascites.
The imaging evaluation demonstrated a large ovarian cyst.
Laboratory tests depicted hypothyroidism and marked elevation of Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) levels.
As the bone age was 10 years, more retarded than the chronological age, Van Wyk and Grumbach syndrome was suspected.
Treatment with thyroid hormone was initiated and the condition improved dramatically with disappearance of symptoms and signs 5 weeks later.
