Entry term(s) síndrome de Stein-Leventhal
Scope note: Trastorno complejo caracterizado por infecundidad, HIRSUTISMO, OBESIDAD y diversos trastornos menstruales, como OLIGOMENORREA, AMENORREA y ANOVULACIÓN. Suele asociarse a la presencia de ovarios de mayor tamaño que presentan folículos atrésicos, pero no quistes, por lo que el término "ovario poliquístico" se presta a confusión.
