title: Idiopathic clitoral hypertrophy.
abstract: We report a case of clitoral hypertrophy of unknown origin. A 3-year-old girl showed clitoral hypertrophy at birth. Biochemical analysis of peripheral blood and endocrinological examinations were normal. Other virilizing symptoms were not recognized. Clitoroplasty was carried out, and the clitoris has not enlarged 20 months after the operation. Her mother was administered cefotiam and terbutaline (beta-stimulant) during pregnancy because of threatened abortion. No virilizing agents such as progesterone were used during pregnancy.
