An 18 years-old-girl presented one and half years back with the complaints of short stature, retarded growth, and menorrhagia with sudden severe lower abdominal pain; was diagnosed as bilateral ovarian cysts and underwent bilateral ovarian cystectomy. Later on she was incidentally diagnosed as a case of hypothyroidism when she had been experiencing slowly enlarging left lower abdominal mass with dull ache for the 5 month and then was transferred to the department of Endocrinology for further evaluation. Detailed work up revealed her short stature with obesity, delayed bone age and other features of hypothyroidism which was confirmed by thyroid function testing. She had enlarged left ovary with multiple follicles as shown in ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed sellar mass which was suspicious of macroadenoma. Levothyroxine replacement was started and she had a dramatic improvement of her problems with disappearance of the ovarian cysts and sellar mass.
