[Serum gonadotropins and histomorphology in polycystic ovaries]. / Serumgonadotropine und Histomorphologie bei polyzystischen Ovarien.

FSH and LH levels as well as the ratio of LH to FSH before and after wedge resection were checked in 25 women with polycystic ovaries in connection with histomorphology. The probands were subdivided histomorphologically by the following three groups: 1. diffuse hyperplasia and luteinized theca interna; 2. foci of hyperplastic and luteinized stroma cells; 2. various corpus luteum-formations. A correlation was found to exist between gonadotropin levels in serum and histomorphological changes. FSH levels, for example, were much lower in the third group, while postoperative LH levels remained to be higher in cases of more strongly pronounced follicular and stromal luteinisation and more strongly manifest changes in corpus luteum-formations.

[Incomplete form of testicular feminisation associated with asymmetrically impaired sensitivity to androgens (author's transl)]. / Eine unvollständige Form der testikulären Feminisierung verbunden mit einer asynmetrisch gestörten Rezeptivität gegenüber Androgenen.

Described in this paper is a case of an incomplete form of testicular feminisation associated with asymmetrically impaired sensitivity to androgens. More strongly pronounced hair coverage was recordable from the entire left half of body and face. The breast was underdeveloped on the right. The genesis of the above deviations is discussed.
