| Summary: | A 30-year-old woman with a 20-year history of type 1 diabetes referred to our clinic with the complaints of facial acne, hirsutism, and irregular menstrual cycles (hirsutism was identified in physical examination). On biochemical analysis, high serum levels of antiTPO and DHEA-S were detected. Based on ultrasonographic findings indicative of thyroiditis and positive anti-TPO test, the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis was made. A diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) was confirmed later according to the Rotterdam criteria (revised 2003). The patient received metformin and insulin for 3 months and her menstrual cycles became regular. |
