Turner syndrome with Xp deletions and rare endometrial abnormalities: A case report

RATIONALE

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder associated with abnormalities of the X chromosome related to ovarian function, but whether it is associated with endometrial abnormalities is still not clear.

PATIENT CONCERNS

We report the case of a 26-year-old Han Chinese woman with TS and Xp11.2 deletion, presenting with short final stature, ovarian hypofunction, unexplained cystic dilatation of the entire endometrium, and endometrial thickening.

DIAGNOSES

The patient was diagnosed with chromosome Xp11.2 deletion through cytogenetic analysis and ultrasonic and endometrial pathology.

INTERVENTIONS

The patient was treated with conventional in vitro fertilization preimplantation genetic testing for 1 cycle.

OUTCOMES

Cytogenetic examination showed karyotype 45, X, del (X) del (p11, 2). Ultrasonic examination showed uneven endometrium thickness and a full-stage cystic dilation echo. After 1 cycle of in vitro fertilization treatment, 4 eggs were obtained without forming an available embryo.

LESSONS

To our knowledge, the present case is the first report of a patient with TS with Xp deletions and ultrasound imaging endometrial abnormalities. Our findings expand the phenotypic spectrum of TS and may provide a reference for other clinicians.
