Most women with acne are found to have polycystic ovaries on high resolution pelvic ultrasonography, but most of these women do not manifest the other classical clinical characteristics of the polycystic ovary syndrome. We have compared the endocrinological profile of women with acne who were found to have polycystic ovaries with that of women with polycystic ovaries who presented to an endocrine clinic with hirsutes or non-dermatological manifestations of the polycystic-ovary syndrome. The group of women with acne had normal serum hormonal concentrations. Unlike other women with polycystic ovaries, they did not have significantly elevated serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone or testosterone. By clinical and endocrinological criteria, patients with acne who have polycystic ovaries appear to be a distinct sub-population of women with polycystic ovaries.
大多数患有痤疮的女性在高分辨率盆腔超声检查中被发现患有多囊卵巢，但这些女性中的大多数并未表现出多囊卵巢综合征的其他典型临床特征。我们比较了被发现患有多囊卵巢的痤疮女性与因多毛或多囊卵巢综合征的非皮肤表现而到内分泌门诊就诊的多囊卵巢女性的内分泌特征。患有痤疮的女性组血清激素浓度正常。与其他多囊卵巢女性不同，她们的血清促黄体生成素或睾酮浓度没有显著升高。根据临床和内分泌标准，患有多囊卵巢的痤疮患者似乎是多囊卵巢女性中的一个独特亚群。
