Abstract
We report on a case of leprechaunism. In addition to the typical clinical and biochemical features, a bilateral juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovaries and cytomegalovirus hepatitis were found. The granulosa cell tumor may result from the mitogenic effect of insulin at high concentration, which acts via a mechanism mediated by insulin-like growth factor I receptorsFile in questo prodotto:
