Effects of Growth Hormone Reduction in a Patient with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Complicated with Acromegaly

Presented by:	Endocrine Journal / Junko Goto, Fumio Otsuka, Kenichi Inagaki, Naoko Tsukamoto, Jiro Suzuki, Tomoko Miyoshi, Toshio Ogura, Yasuhiko Kamada and Hirofumi Makino
Summary points:	A 32-year-old Japanese female with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) presents with unusual thirst and gradual body weight loss for 3 years. Medical history, gynaecological examination, laboratory data, brain magnetic resonance imaging with images, and endocrine tests are described. The authors describe a rare case of PCOS complicated with acromegaly due to a growth hormone-producing pituitary adenoma.
