title: Congenital hypothyroidism with multiple ovarian cysts.
abstract: A case of ectopic thyroid with congenital hypothyroidism presenting with bilateral multicystic ovaries without marked precocious puberty is reported. The cystic ovaries disappeared dramatically after thyroid hormone therapy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  When ovarian cysts are found in prepubescent females, the possibility of associated hypothyroidism should be considered.
