Abstract
Presentation of CaseA nineteen-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital because of failure to menstruate.The patient had never had any vaginal bleeding. There had been no definite molimina; there were occasional episodes of lower-abdominal pressure that were attributed to gastrointestinal stasis. Five years before entry her voice became deep, and there was progressive deepening during the subsequent years. For the four years before admission there was a noticeable growth of hair on the face, arms, legs and thighs and, during the year before admission, on the chest. For two years the clitoris had been approximately one inch long. . . .Keywords
