Ovarian microcysts in girls with isolated premature thelarche

J Pediatr. 1993 Feb;122(2):246-9. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(06)80123-x.

Abstract

We compared the frequency of ovarian microcysts in girls with premature thelarche (n = 27) to that in age-matched control subjects (n = 24). There was an increased prevalence of detectable ovarian microcysts in girls with premature thelarche. The presence or absence of cysts did not correlate with basal gonadotropin or estradiol levels.
