Constitutional delay of puberty (CDP) and congenital central hypogonadism (CH) show great overlap in clinical features and in gonadotrophin and testosterone serum concentrations in boys. The gold standard to distinguish both entities relies on the assessment of pubertal stage beyond 18 years of age. The long lasting insufficient FSH activity in boys with congenital CH may result in lower AMH and inhibin B serum concentrations compared with boys with CDP....

Introduction: Haematological malignancies represent the most frequent childhood cancer. Little is known about small ovarian follicle function at diagnosis in girls with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). AMH is a useful marker of small follicles.Aim: To determine small ovarian follicle status at diagnosis and after 3 months of chemotherapy in girls and adoles...
