Solving the Dilemma: Van Wyk-Grumbach Syndrome.

The Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome (VWGS) (hypothyroidism, ovarian mass, and precocious puberty) has been extensively documented in the literature as long-term hypothyroidism manifesting as an ovarian mass. The authors of this study describe this entity in a young girl, aged 10, who presented with abdominal pain with a multiloculated ovarian cyst. She was evaluated, and it was discovered that she had delayed bone age, precocious puberty, and a small height. Following her diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis and the initiation of thyroxine replacement therapy, the ovarian cysts spontaneously regressed. To avoid needless assessment and surgical mishaps, this entity should be considered in situations of ovarian mass, particularly those with precocious puberty and thyroid disorders.
