abstract: The aim of our study was to investigate clinical, hormonal and histological features of ovarian stromal hyperthecosis We have studied 104 patients with a histological diagnosis of ovarian stromal hyperthecosis and hyperplasia. Analyzing the results we can conclude that clinical features of ovarian stromal hyperthecosis and hyperplasia with polycystic ovarian disease and without it were identical and characterised by virilization syndrome, disorders of menstrual cycle and reproductive function; metabolic and vegeto-vascular disorders; breast and endometrial hyperplasias, high blood level of testosterone . The histological study of ovarian stromal hyperthecosis has showed that superficial part of ovarian cortex is hypocellular and fibrotic, contains scattered follicles with few granulosa cells, luteinized internal theca cells, hyperplasia of deep cortex and medulla, corpus luteus is absent.
