[Hyperandrogenic states in girls and young women].

The authors present a group of 20 girls and young women with various clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenism. The common finding in all these patients is an elevated excretion of desoxy-fraction of 17-oxosteroids, in particular androsterone in urine. The authors describe in detail the case-history of a girl with pubarché praecox and premature closure of the epiphyseal crevices and a young woman with polycystic ovary syndrome.
