A seven year and ten months old girl presented with cyclic vaginal bleeding and a huge abdominopelvic mass. She had clinical features of hypothyroidism. The investigation results were consistent with the diagnosis of primary hypothyroidism with precocious puberty. She also had bilaterally enlarged cystic ovaries on CT scan of abdomen and CT scan of brain showed pituitary macroadenoma. After starting treatment with thyroxine, patient became euthyroid and her general condition improved. Treatment with thyroxine alone halted the cyclic vaginal bleeding, led to rapid resolution of the ovarian cysts and regression of the pituitary mass.
一名7岁10个月大的女孩出现周期性阴道出血和巨大的腹盆腔肿块。她有甲状腺功能减退的临床特征。检查结果与原发性甲状腺功能减退伴性早熟的诊断一致。腹部CT扫描显示她双侧卵巢囊肿增大,脑部CT扫描显示垂体大腺瘤。开始使用甲状腺素治疗后,患者甲状腺功能恢复正常,一般状况有所改善。仅用甲状腺素治疗就停止了周期性阴道出血,使卵巢囊肿迅速消退,垂体肿块缩小。
