Abstract
In this unselected population of women referred to a center specialized in gynecologic endocrinology for suspicion of PCOS, a minimum rate of misdiagnosed FHA patients of about 2% was found. It is necessary to evaluate reliable markers for the differential diagnosis between PCOS and FHA to avoid incorrect treatment, which might lead to negative long-term effects in women with undiagnosed FHA.
