Late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency and polycystic ovary disease. A case report.
In a case of late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21HD), the clinical presentation was that of polycystic ovary disease (PCOD). Wedge resection of the ovaries yielded tissue that, on histology, was consistent with PCOD. Most likely the PCOD was secondary to the late-onset 21HD.
