OVARY - Stein-Leventhal "Syndrome"

Description
The ovary is enlarged 2-3 times; the outer surface is thickened; the cut surface shows numerous cysts arranged along the periphery. No corpora lutea can be seen. It is assumed that the cysts represent follicles which have not been able to mature.
History
