Abstract
|
|
Introduction: In mixed gonadal dysgenesis or X/XY gonadal dysplasia, the axis of hypothalamus-pituitary-reproductive organ is usually maintained. Case Report: We report a 29-year-old woman of mixed gonadal dysgenesis with abnormal growth hormone (GH) dynamics after thyrotropin-releasing hormone loading test, gonadotropin-releasing hormone loading test, and oral glucose tolerance test and a pituitary lesion. Conclusion: The abnormal dynamics of pituitary hormone, especially GH, and the existence of a pituitary lesion in mixed gonadal dysgenesis is a rare event. | |
