Transvaginal ultrasound diagnosis of a rare entity: Premenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis
Key Clinical Message 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,...
