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.
