Discriminative diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis cysts and benign mucinous cystadenomas based on the ConvNeXt algorithm.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning model, using the ConvNeXt algorithm, that can effectively differentiate between ovarian endometriosis cysts (OEC) and benign mucinous cystadenomas (MC) by analyzing ultrasound images. The performance of the model in the diagnostic differentiation of these two conditions was also evaluated. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on OEC and MC patients who had sought medical attention at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between August 2018 and May 2023. The diagnosis was established based on postoperative pathology or the characteristics of aspirated fluid guided by ultrasound, serving as the gold standard. Ultrasound images were collected and subjected to screening and preprocessing procedures. The data set was randomly divided into training, validation, and testing sets in a ratio of 5:3:2. Transfer learning was utilized to determine the initial weights of the ConvNeXt deep learning algorithm, which were further adjusted by retraining the algorithm using the training and validation ultrasound images to establish a new deep learning model. The weights that yielded the highest accuracy were selected to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the model using the validation set. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Additionally, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and odds ratio were calculated. Decision curve analysis (DCA) curves were plotted. RESULTS: The study included 786 ultrasound images from 184 patients diagnosed with either OEC or MC. The deep learning model achieved an AUC of 0.90 (95 % CI: 0.85-0.95) in accurately distinguishing between the two conditions, with a sensitivity of 90 % (95 % CI: 84 %-95 %), specificity of 90 % (95 % CI: 77 %-97 %), a positive predictive value of 96 % (95 % CI: 91 %-99 %), a negative predictive value of 77 % (95 % CI: 63 %-88 %), a positive likelihood ratio of 9.27 (95 % CI: 3.65-23.56), and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.11 (95 % CI: 0.06-0.19). The DCA curve demonstrated the practical clinical utility of the model. CONCLUSIONS: The deep learning model developed using the ConvNeXt algorithm exhibits high accuracy (90 %) in distinguishing between OEC and MC. This model demonstrates excellent diagnostic performance and clinical utility, providing a novel approach for the clinical differentiation of these two conditions.

Perioperative management of a patient with unexpectedly detected early-stage ovarian mucinous carcinoma combined with progressive bulbar paralysis: a case report and literature review.

BACKGROUND: Giant ovarian cysts (GOCs)complicated with progressive bulbar paralysis (PBP) are very rare, and no such literature about these cases have been reported. Through the diagnosis and treatment of this case, the perioperative related treatment of such patients was analyzed in detail, and early-stage ovarian mucinous carcinoma was unexpectedly found during the treatment, which provided reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of this kind of diseases. CASE PRESENTATION: In this article, we reported a 38-year-old female patient. The patient was diagnosed with PBP 2 years ago. Examination revealed a large fluid-dominated cystic solid mass in the pelvis measuring approximately 28.6×14.2×8.0 cm. Carbohydrate antigen19-9(CA19-9) 29.20 IU/mL and no other significant abnormalities were observed. The patient eventually underwent transabdominal right adnexal resection under regional anesthesia, epidural block. Postoperative pathology showed mucinous carcinoma in some areas of the right ovary. The patient was staged as stage IA, and surveillance was chosen. With postoperative follow-up 1 month later, her CA19-9 decreased to 14.50 IU/ml. CONCLUSIONS: GOCs combined with PBP patients require a multi-disciplinary treatment. Preoperative evaluation of the patient's PBP progression, selection of the surgical approach in relation to the patient's fertility requirements, the nature of the ovarian cyst and systemic condition are required. Early mucinous ovarian cancer accidentally discovered after operation and needs individualized treatment according to the guidelines and the patient's situation. The patient's dysphagia and respiratory function should be closely monitored during the perioperative period. In addition, moral support from the family is also very important.

Uterine mesothelial cysts mimicking ovarian cysts in a primipara patient with a history of Cesarean section: A case report and review of the literature.

OBJECTIVE: We describe a rare case of uterine mesothelial cysts mimicking ovarian cysts in a primipara patient with a history of Cesarean section. CASE REPORT: A 39-year-old female patient with history of Cesarean section presented with dysmenorrhea. Sonography revealed that a hypoechoic and anechoic multicystic complex, which was located on the right side of the pelvic cavity, had infiltrated the adjacent posterior wall of the uterus, and it was preoperatively misdiagnosed as ovarian cysts with suspected endometrioma. Laparoscopic surgery revealed multiple cystic lesions filled with clear yellow fluid on the posterior uterine wall instead of the adnexa. Laparoscopic uterine cystectomy was performed, and the patient's recovery was uneventful. Pathohistological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of uterine mesothelial cysts. CONCLUSION: Uterine mesothelial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic lesions. Increasing the awareness of this rare disease can contribute to improved evaluation, decision-making, and disease management.

Aversion of surgical exploration in patients with complex ovarian cysts secondary to overt hypothyroidism: A series of three cases.

Long-standing, overt hypothyroidism-induced bilateral multiloculated ovarian cysts represent an infrequent occurrence. Our first case, presented with bilateral complex ovarian masses, exhibited overt hypothyroidism symptoms, including lethargy, weight gain and subfertility, prompting consideration for surgical intervention. Similarly, in the second case, a girl aged 11 years with stunting, delayed bone age and academic challenges was referred for surgical exploration due to bilateral complex ovarian masses. Both cases revealed elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone levels during preoperative workup. Commencing levothyroxine replacement therapy resulted in complete regression of ovarian cysts and substantial symptom improvement within an 8-week timeframe. The third case, a previously diagnosed patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, benefited from the lessons gleaned in managing the initial cases, responding well to levothyroxine therapy, thereby averting the necessity for surgery in all three instances. These cases underscore the significance of considering thyroid function in the evaluation of ovarian masses and highlight the efficacy of levothyroxine replacement therapy in resolving both hypothyroidism and associated ovarian cysts, thereby obviating the need for surgical intervention.

Uncovering the Unknown: Granulomatous Peritonitis After Right Ovarian Cystectomy at a Tertiary Care Center in South India-A Case Report.

Background. Granulomatous peritonitis is a rare postoperative complication caused by a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to foreign substances. It can be challenging to diagnose owing to its vague presentations, and its possibility is often overlooked. Tubercular peritonitis and peritoneal carcinomatosis are the 2 crucial differential diagnoses that need to be taken into account. However, making a clinical differentiation between these 2 entities is challenging and necessitates a careful histopathological and microbiological analysis. Case Presentation. In this report, we present the case of a 28-year-old female who developed granulomatous peritonitis following a right ovarian cystectomy. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. Conclusion. We must be aware of this rare entity, which, if left untreated, could have serious consequences, and consider its possibility in cases where the patient complains of abdominal pain after any abdominal procedure. We hope to provide insights into the importance of histopathological examination in aiding a confirmatory diagnosis of this entity.

Rare case of haemoperitoneum secondary to a ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy superimposed by a bleeding corpus luteum cyst.

An adolescent female presented with an acute abdomen and elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels and underwent a laparoscopy for a suspected ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Intraoperatively, a ruptured haemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst and tissues suggestive of products of conception were noted in the same ovary. Histology confirmed an ovarian ectopic pregnancy. Haemorrhagic ovarian cysts, and ectopic pregnancies, can cause acute pelvic pain in women of childbearing age. Their similar clinical signs and symptoms pose a diagnostic dilemma for any gynaecologist. Ruptured corpus luteal cysts, as well as ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancies, should be considered rare but differential diagnoses in women presenting with acute abdominal pain, an adnexal mass and ultrasound features of haemoperitoneum. The mainstay of treatment is a diagnostic laparoscopy, which is a safe and feasible management strategy without compromising patient safety or ovarian function in the long run.

Clinical course of peripheral precocious puberty in girls due to autonomous ovarian cysts.

OBJECTIVE: Peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) is the precocious development of secondary sexual characteristics without pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. In girls, PPP suggests a hyper-oestrogenic state, such as autonomous ovarian cysts and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). We aimed to investigate PPP in girls with ovarian cysts, with or without MAS. DESIGN: A retrospective study design was used. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: The study included 12 girls diagnosed with ovarian cysts with PPP between January 2003 and May 2022. Pelvic sonography was performed in cases of vaginal bleeding or areolar pigmentation in PPP. The clinical characteristics, clinical course and pelvic sonographic findings of girls with ovarian cysts were investigated. RESULTS: We found 18 episodes of ovarian cysts in the 12 girls. The median size of the ovarian cysts was 27.5 mm. Five of the girls were diagnosed with MAS. The median time to spontaneous regression was 6 months. Later, 4 out of 12 girls progressed to central precocious puberty (CPP), and three of them had a recurrence of ovarian cysts. Compared to the non-recurrent and recurrent groups, there was a difference in peak luteinizing hormone (LH) in the GnRH stimulation test and period to cyst regression. CONCLUSIONS: Most ovarian cysts in PPP spontaneously disappear. However, this could be one of the findings of MAS. Some girls progress from PPP to CPP. Therefore, follow-up is necessary for ovarian cysts in patients with PPP. The recurrence of ovarian cysts may occur when spontaneous regression is prolonged.

Ovarian cyst torsion in a pre-menopausal woman causing intestinal obstruction: a case report.

Intestinal obstruction due to adnexal torsion is a rare complication that can be occurred during torsion of an ovarian cyst. A premenopausal woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and obstipation for 2 days. An abdominal radiograph showed signs of large bowel partial obstruction. Hence admission to the surgical department was ordered. Due to deterioration of the patient, a gynaecological evaluation took place. Ultrasonography demonstrated a large ovarian cyst, which was also confirmed by an abdominal computed tomography scan and thus immediate laparotomy was decided. Abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed due to torsion of a giant ovarian cyst, which caused intestinal obstruction by compression. The post-operative course of the patient was uneventful. Ovarian torsion should not be eliminated from differential diagnosis when it comes to female patients with clinical presentation relevant to small and/or large bowel obstruction.

Obstructed inguinal hernia containing ovary with an ovarian cyst: a case report.

A 27-year-old married woman came to the emergency room (ER) with the chief complaint of severe pain in the abdomen for 3 days, which was more pronounced in the right iliac fossa, along with the complaint of multiple episodes of vomiting for the last 6 hours. She also gave a history of swelling in the right inguinal region for last 9 months with the complaint of mild on and off pain in the swelling. On physical examination, diagnosis of obstructed inguinal hernia was made. Ultrasonography (USG) of abdomen was of no use, as it only commented on hernial defect and not on the contents of the hernial sac. An emergency surgery was planned; marsupialisation of ovarian cyst, repositioning of fallopian tube along with ovary and herniorrhaphy was performed without any difficulty.

Voluminous bilateral adnexal cysts in a young female: the challenge of fertility preservation.

An ovarian benign cyst is a common finding in women of reproductive age. However both the disease and its treatment may have an impact on ovarian reserve, resulting in a significant risk of premature ovarian insufficiency. The counselling on fertility preservation is of paramount importance in such cases. We report the management of a young woman with giant bilateral benign adnexal cysts, highlighting the complexity of fertility preservation in such scenario.

[Pseudoascitis by giant ovaric cyst] / Pseudoascitis por quiste ovárico gigante.

The term pseudoascitis is used in patients who give the false impression of ascites, with abdominal distension but without peritoneal free fluid. The case of a 66-year-old woman, hypertensive and hypothyroid with occasional alcohol consumption, who consults due to progressive abdominal distension of 6 months of evolution and diffuse percussion dullness is presented, in whom a paracentesis is performed with the wrong endorsement of examination ultrasound that reports abundant intrabdominal free fluid (Fig. 1), later finding in the CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis an expansive process of cystic appearance of 295mm x 208mm x 250mm. Left anexectomy is programmed (Fig. 2) with pathological report of mucinous ovarian cystadenoma. The case report refers to the availability of the giant ovarian cyst within the differential diagnosis of ascites. If no symptoms or obvious signs of liver, kidney, heart or malignant disease are found and / or ultrasound does not reveal typical signs of intra-abdominal free fluid (fluid in the bottom of the Morrison or Douglas sac, presence of floating free intestinal handles), a CT scan and / or an RMI should be requested before performing paracentesis, which could have potentially serious consequences.

El término pseudoascitis, se utiliza en los pacientes que dan la falsa impresión de ascitis, con distensión abdominal pero sin líquido libre peritoneal. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 66 años, hipertensa e hipotiroidea con consumo ocasional de alcohol, que consulta por distensión abdominal progresiva de 6 meses de evolución y matidez difusa a la percusión, en quien se realiza una paracentesis con el aval equivoco de examen ecográfico que informa abundante líquido libre  intrabdominal (Fig. 1), hallando posteriormente en TAC de abdomen y pelvis un proceso expansivo de aspecto quístico de 295mm x 208mm x 250mm. Se programa anexectomia izquierda (Fig. 2) con informe anatomopatológico de cistoadenoma mucinoso de ovario. La comunicación del caso remite a tener disponible el quiste ovárico gigante dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales de ascitis. Si no se hallan síntomas o signos evidentes de insuficiencia hepática, renal, cardiaca o enfermedad maligna y/o la ecografía no revela signos típicos de líquido libre intrabdominal  (líquido en el fondo de saco de Morrison o de Douglas, presencia de asas intestinales libres flotantes), se debería solicitar una TAC y/o una RMI antes de realizar una paracentesis, la cual podría tener consecuencias potencialmente graves.

The optimal time for laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the optimal time of laparoscopic cystectomy for unilateral ovarian endometrioma patients and evaluate the influence on ovarian reserve. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective randomized controlled study included 88 women with unilateral ovarian endometrioma at a tertiary teaching hospital. All patients received their first identified diagnosis of ovarian endometrioma by ultrasound (> 4 cm and ≤ 10 cm) and were administered an oral contraceptive pill (OC) for one cycle before laparoscopy. They were randomly divided into two groups: laparoscopy at the late luteal phase (group LLP) (n = 44) (termination of OC for two days) and laparoscopy at the early follicular phase (group EFP) (n = 44) (day 3 after menstruation). Basic clinical characteristics were recorded. Serum Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels were measured at various times to predict ovarian reserve. Serum levels of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) were measured at several time sites to predict the ovarian reserve; AMH and leukocyte esterase (LE) levels of the endometrioma wall were measured. RESULTS: Before surgery, serum AMH levels decreased in both groups from preoperative to one week and six months postoperatively. In contrast, the difference values of group EFP were larger than those of group LLP at postoperative one week and postoperative six months (1.87 ± 0.97 vs. 1.31 ± 0.93, P = 0.07; 1.91 ± 1.06 vs. 1.54 ± 0.93, P = 0.001). The mean rates of postoperative serum AMH decline were 37.92% and 46.34% in group EFP, significantly higher than those in group LLP (25.83% vs. 31.43%, P < 0.001). Ovarian endometrioma wall AMH of group LLP was significantly lower than that of group EFP ([22.86 ± 3.74] vs. [31.02 ± 5.23], P < 0.001). Meanwhile, ovarian endometrioma LE concentration of group LLP was significantly higher than that of group EFP ([482.83 ± 115.88] vs. [371.68 ± 84.49], P<0.001). There was also a significant inverse correlation between leukocyte esterase and AMH concentration in an ovarian endometrioma cyst wall (r=-0.564, P<0.001). CONCLUSION(S): The optimal time for laparoscopic cystectomy for patients with first identified unilateral ovarian endometrioma is the late luteal phase, which reduces ovarian tissue loss and preserves ovarian reserve effectively and safely.

Post-appendectomy abdominal pain attributed to incidental ovarian cyst: a case report.

Acute abdominal pain in adolescents has a multitude of diagnoses to consider ranging from life-threating ones to other less obvious. In this case report, a 15-year-old girl presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and tenderness one month after successful surgical management of acute appendicitis. Post-appendectomy abdominal pain could easily be attributed to post-operative complications, while, in reality, a different disease state may be the cause of the pain. Physicians should have a high index of clinical suspicion, even though the temporal association of events may suggest otherwise. Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst (HOC) should be included in the differential, as it was confirmed with imaging in our case. A conservative treatment approach with progesterone was chosen, with menses resuming 2 days later, leading to regression of the cyst. The clinical significance of this case relies on the timely recognition of a disease entity, in order to distinguish it from complications arising postoperatively.

Postmenopausal woman with 24 kilograms ovarian mucinous cystadenoma: a rare case report.

A case of a 53-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting a giant ovarian cystic mucinous tumor weighing 24 kg is reported here. When she was seen first at our outpatient clinic, she had gross abdominal distension since 2 years, and she complained of unbearable aggressive pain. Her computed tomography (CT) scan was done which came suggestive of ovarian serous cystadenoma of large massive size 35 x 40 x 32 cm with moderate ascites. On exploratory laparotomy, a giant, totally cystic, vascularized and smooth mass attached to the right ovary was encountered. On the postoperative tenth day, she was discharged without any problem. Histopathology report of the right ovarian cystic mass came suggestive of multiloculated cyst with capsule intact with Borderline Mucinous tumor of right ovary weighing 24 kg. This is both one of the largest known examples in the literature and the largest ovarian cyst ever seen at our institution.

Fetal Ovarian Cyst-A Scoping Review of the Data from the Last 10 Years.

Abdominal cystic masses are diagnosed during the intrauterine period and have a relatively low incidence. Fetal ovarian cysts are the most common form diagnosed prenatally or immediately after birth. The pathophysiology of the development of these types of tumors is not fully elucidated, with ovarian hyperstimulation caused by maternal and placental hormones being the most accepted hypothesis. During intrauterine development, the diagnosis of fetal ovarian cysts is most often made accidentally during usual check-up ultrasounds corresponding to the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy. We conducted a scoping review with the aim to map the current knowledge regarding the treatment of fetal ovarian cysts diagnosed in the intrauterine period. Focusing on the articles published in the last 10 years in the specialized literature, we tried to identify a conceptualization regarding the surveillance and treatment of these anomalies.

Acute epiploic appendagitis - a rare differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.

BACKGROUND: Acute epiploic appendagitis is a rare differential diagnosis of unclear or acute abdomen. AIM: To describe - by means of a scientific case report - the extraordinary diagnosis of acute epiploic appendagitis along with contained diverticulitis and incarcerated herniation of the greater omentum into the hernial sac of a former trocar site (medical history, significant for laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal) in a 29-year-old female based on experiences obtained in the successful clinical case management, and on selective references from medical scientific literature. CASE SUMMARY: Medical history: A 29-year-old female was admitted with abdominal pain in the lower left quadrant. She reported a laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal 3 years prior. Physical examination of the abdomen revealed tenderness in the lower left quadrant without a palpable mass.Leading diagnoses were found using transabdominal ultrasound and confirmed by an abdominal CT scan; namely, incarcerated trocar hernia, diverticulitis of sigmoid colon, and acute epiploic appendagitis. Therapeutic approach was comprised of an explorative laparoscopy (because of the incarcerated hernia), adhesiolysis, removal of a tip of the greater omentum out of the hernial sac, closure of the hernial orifice, and removal of an unclear, inflamed, and bloody fatty tissue from the wall of the descending colon (histopathological investigation confirmed acute epiploic appendagitis). This was flanked by conservative treatment of diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon.Further clinical course was uneventful, with discharge on the 3rd postoperative day with favorable long-term outcome, characterized by no further complaints for 15 months. DISCUSSION: Acute epiploic appendagitis is an inflammatory, usually self-limiting condition of the epiploic appendages of the colon. It typically manifests with abdominal pain in the lower left quadrant. Imaging is an important diagnostic tool to determine whether the patient has, in fact, acute epiploic appendagitis, so recognizing the characteristic oval lesions with the surrounding inflammation and central fat attenuation on CT, as well as the hyperechoic oval lesions with a hypoechoic peripheral band on ultrasound images is crucial. Nevertheless, it is often overlooked in patients and confused with other differential diagnoses, such as appendicitis or diverticulitis. Although the condition appears infrequently, it is essential to be proficient in the diagnostic evaluation, as a misdiagnosis may lead to unnecessary treatment and even surgical intervention. IN CONCLUSION: , the patient was initially diagnosed with an incarcerated abdominal hernia, and therefore subsequently underwent surgery. The inflamed epiploic appendage was discovered in laparoscopic exploration, removed, and confirmed through the histopathology report. This is an approach to be performed with great caution so as not to 1. : misinterpret an inflamed diverticula or covered perforation of it as well as not 2. : overlooking a peritoneal tumor lesion.

The Surgical Procedure in the Case of Ovarian Lesion in Neonate.

BACKGROUND: In newborns and infants, ovarian lesions can be detected during ultrasound examination before or after birth. Malignant ovarian lesions account for <1% of malignancies in newborns. However, in case of doubt about the nature of the lesion, surgery with tissue collection for histopathologic evaluation should be considered with the absolute condition of fertility preservation. OBSERVATIONS: The aim of this publication was to describe a case report of a 3-day-old infant who presented an ovarian lesion on postnatal ultrasound, with features suggesting a malignant nature of the ovary. In the described case, laparoscopy and mini-laparotomy were performed, torsion was excluded. The ovary was preserved, and histopathologic examination excluded the malignant nature of the lesion. CONCLUSION: A detailed analysis of the clinical status, laboratory tests, and imaging studies is necessary before making a final decision on further therapeutic, especially surgical management of a newborn with an ovarian lesion.

Surgical disorders in pediatric and adolescent gynecology: Adnexal abnormalities.

Surgical abnormalities of the adnexa in children and adolescents include a variety of ovarian and paraovarian lesions ranging from benign functional cysts to malignant tumors, torsion of the ovary and/or the fallopian tube, and adnexal infectious lesions ranging from salpingitis to tubo-ovarian abscesses. Presentations vary from asymptomatic pelvic masses to acute abdomen, and some ovarian tumors might present with precocious puberty or virilization. Acute pain might be caused by hemorrhage or rupture of ovarian or paraovarian cysts, adnexal torsion or adnexal infection. Differential diagnosis of adnexal masses should include peri-appendiceal abscess in all age groups, and endometriomas and ectopic pregnancy in adolescents. This review provides guidance on the differentiation between adnexal abnormalities, based on important clues from clinical assessment and diagnostic workup, and ultimately on the decision making about the need for surgery, its level of urgency, and the type of surgery to clinicians of all specialties involved in the care of young females.

Pediatric Psoriasis Associated with Van Wyk Grumbach Syndrome: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory condition, often beginning in childhood in approximately one-third of cases. It can be associated with various other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, and thyroid disorders. However, its co-occurrence with Van Wyk Grumbach syndrome has not been described in the pediatric population. This syndrome, resulting from untreated hypothyroidism, is characterized by early puberty and ovarian cysts. OBSERVATION: A 15-year-old adolescent with a diagnosis of psoriasis since the age of 9 presented with chronic constipation and headaches. She exhibited early puberty (menarche at 9 years) and academic regression. Clinical examination revealed growth retardation and arterial hypertension. Hormonal analyses revealed primary hypothyroidism : Free Thyroxine (FT4)=7pmol/mL(9- 20 pmol/l), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)=200 mIU/mL( 0,4 - 5 mUI/ml.). The ultrasound and scintigraphic appearance were suggestive of thyroiditis. Additionally, she experienced menstrual irregularities and pelvic pain. Radiological exploration revealed a left ovarian cyst. The diagnosis of Van Wyk Grumbach syndrome was established due to early puberty, hypothyroidism, and polycystic ovary. Treatment with l-thyroxine led to stabilization of blood pressure and hormonal levels. Her height remained below the target adult height. CONCLUSION: Assessment of thyroid function appears necessary in pediatric patients with psoriasis. Early hormonal replacement therapy for hypothyroidism may alleviate the symptoms of Van Wyk Grumbach syndrome and mitigate its impact on stature.
