Résumé

Hirsutism is excess terminal hair that commonly appears in a male pattern in women. It is associated with hyperandrogenemia. Ferriman-Gallwey scoring system is the most popular scoring system for evaluation, treatment and monitoring the response to therapy. Causes include PCOS, Cushing syndrome, glucocorticoid resistance, drugs, more serious conditions like androgen secreting tumour of ovaries or the adrenal gland, hyperthecosis ovarii and luteoma of pregnancy. We present a case of severe PCOS (Hyperthecosis ovarii) which mimics androgen secreting tumour from ovary in a 30- yr- old lady. This case emphasizes on the spectrum of manifestations that PCOS can come with and the importance of trans vaginal ultrasonography in diagnosing ovarian conditions and its superiority over conventional trans abdominal USG or CT scan.
