Transvaginal ultrasound diagnosis of a rare entity: Premenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis.

Published in: Clinical case reports (2024)
Ovarian hyperthecosis (OH) is a benign pathology, less common in premenopause. Literature is poor on its ultrasound (US) characteristics. We suggest that a heterogeneous ovary at US, with a central vascularisation and follicles to the periphery, with or without hyperandrogenism, should lead to consider OH in the hands of experts.
