A study of ovarian thecomatosis.
Among 205 ovaries with cortical stromal hyperplasia or polycystic changes, 52 showed excessive luteinization. The clinical and pathologic parameters investigated were not statistically different in the group with extensive thecomatosis. Hyperthecosis is considered as the functional variant of ovarian stromal hyperplasia which reflects a predominance of pituitary luteinizing hormone.
