In girls, they commonly present with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (sOHSS). The clinical presentation, management, and long-term outcomes of these tumors remain incompletely characterized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jpem-2026-0465_abs_002\">\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report two girls aged 10.1 and 16\u00a0years with prolonged menstrual bleeding and bilateral multicystic ovarian enlargement due to FSHoma-associated sOHSS. Both demonstrated markedly elevated estradiol, suppressed LH, and nonsuppressed (inappropriately normal) FSH, with pituitary adenomas of 14\u00a0\u00d7\u00a011\u00a0\u00d7\u00a013\u202fmm and 9\u00a0\u00d7\u00a09\u202fmm on MRI; immunohistochemistry was FSH\u03b2-positive in both. Case 1 underwent transsphenoidal adenectomy after medical treatment with letrozole and cabergoline; despite residual tumor tissue, she remained stable over 10\u00a0years of follow-up. Case 2 underwent transsphenoidal resection but developed recurrent hyperestrogenism and ovarian enlargement 5\u00a0years later despite radiological stability of the residual adenoma, and subsequently required emergency surgery for ovarian torsion (excision of the left ovary, right ovarian cystectomy). All 11 pediatric patients, including the present two, were compared for presentation, treatment, and long-term outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jpem-2026-0465_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These cases provide 10 and 9\u00a0years of follow-up after diagnosis. Biochemical recurrence may occur independently of radiological tumor progression, and persistent ovarian stimulation from residual adenoma tissue may cause irreversible complications, including ovarian torsion. Long-term multidisciplinary surveillance with serial hormonal assessment, pelvic imaging, and pituitary MRI is essential, and early pituitary-directed intervention may prevent unnecessary gynecological surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpem-2026-0465","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,23]],"date-time":"2026-10-23T15:56:15Z","timestamp":1792770975000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["FSH-secreting pituitary adenomas presenting with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in children and adolescents: two cases, a literature review, and long-term follow-up"],"prefix":"10.1515","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8217-1684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamala","family":"Mammadova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of Medicine , Samsun , T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Memorial Antalya Hospital , Antalya , T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cengiz","family":"Kara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of Medicine , Samsun , T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Istinye University Faculty of Medicine , Istanbul , T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eda","family":"\u00c7elebi Bitkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of Medicine , Samsun , T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital , Istanbul , T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leyla","family":"Ak\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of Medicine , Samsun , T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Ayd\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Endocrinology , Ondokuz Mayis University Faculty of Medicine , Samsun , T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026102315561145130_j_jpem-2026-0465_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nastri, CO, Ferriani, RA, Rocha, IA, Martins, WP.
