Cystic changes in the ovaries of a pre-pubertal girl with Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
Henoch Schönlein Purpura is an IgA mediated vasculitis that is known to be associated with scrotal pathology. However, an association between Henoch Schönlein purpura and ovarian pathology has not been described. We present the case of a girl who developed cystic changes in her ovaries during her course of Henoch Schönlein purpura.
