QUESTION EXAMPLES

Question # 1

A 25 year old woman, G2P2, comes to the clinic for a routine exam. She explains that she has noticed facial hair growth over the past few months, and also believes that her voice has become deeper. Her last menstrual period was 6 months ago. Her mother died from invasive lobular breast carcinoma at the age of 59. Physical examination reveals  coarse facial hair, and a pelvic exam demonstrates both clitoromegaly and a large adnexal mass. A urine pregnancy test is negative. Pelvic ultrasonography is conducted and demonstrates the presence of a large ovarian cyst. What is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?
