Abstract
Clitoris lesion is most readily classified into hormone-dependent and hormone-independent cause. It can also be characterized as congenital or acquired nature. Clitoromegaly is the most common presentation of clitoral lesions clinically. Hormone-dependent clitoromegaly is mainly attibuted to the increase of androgen, while the most comomon cause of hormone-independent clitoromegaly is neurofibromatosis. Except that, there are so many other disorders which can cause clitoromegaly, leading to the difficulty for diagnosis. However, the literature concerning the management of clitoromegaly is scarce.The present study summarized the lesions of clitoromegaly from the etiology, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis to treatment. This may help clinicians to make a reasonbale management when facing this kind of disease.

The Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism was founded in July 1985. It is a senior academic journal in the field of endocrinology and metabolism sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association. The journal aims to be the "Chinese broadcaster of new knowledge on endocrinology and metabolism worldwide". It reports leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in endocrinology and metabolism and related fields, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in endocrinology and metabolism clinics and is closely integrated with clinics. The journal is a core journal of Chinese science and technology (a statistical source journal of Chinese science and technology papers), and is included in Chinese and foreign statistical source journal databases such as the Chinese Science and Technology Papers and Citation Database, Chemical Abstracts, and Scopus.
