Lymphocytic hypophysitis: report of an unusual case of a rare disorder.

abstract：:Because women affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) present an increased cardiovascular risk, the safety of estroprogestin treatment is debated and contrasting data have been reported. However, cardiovascular risk is not the same in all PCOS women and individual cardiovascular risk should be assessed before sta...
