Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or ovarian hyperandrogenism, has been identified in increasing numbers of adolescent girls.

It may be associated with obesity and insulin resistance. We sought to characterize the presentations of PCOS in the patients seen in our multidisciplinary adolescent PCOS clinic in its first 33 months of existence.
