title: [The levels of selected hormones in serum and ovarian cyst fluid in girls and young women].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the study was to determinate levels of the FSH, LH and E2 in serum and ovarian cyst fluid in neoplastic tumors (7 benign, 1 of low malignant potential) and functional cysts.
  
  
  METHODS
  We measured the concentrations of the FSH, LH and E2 at 12 girls and young women hospitalized in our teaching department using immunoenzymatic method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found higher levels of gonadotropins in serum and particular in ovarian cyst fluid at neoplastic tumors in comparison with functional cysts. There were also high levels of estradiol and low of gonadotropins in functional ovarian cyst fluid.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The differences of FSH, LH and E2 levels in ovarian cyst fluid in neoplastic and functional cyst have cognitive character and need more investigations.
