Bilateral ovarian cysts in a neonate with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is by far the most common cause of ambiguous genitalia. The occurrence of ovarian cysts has not been previously described in the classical salt-wasting form of 21-hydroxylase-deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We report a very rare case of bilateral ovarian cysts in one such neonate.
