ABSTRACT It is estimated that up to 1 in 5 women in the world who are of reproductive age have PCOS. An examination of the syndrome lean polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) reveals that this less common variant of the condition can be distinguished from classic PCOS by the patient's low body weight or BMI. This case study discusses the treatment, diagnostic challenges, clinical presentation, and lifestyle management for Lean PC0S. The case included a 21-yearold maiden who had been diagnosed with lean PCOD, a disorder that typically manifests as low body mass index (BMI) symptoms in affected persons. The patient experienced minor hirsutism along with irregular menstrual cycles. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) confirmed the diagnosis with PCOD, even though the patient's BMI had fallen to 16.5 kg/m2. The USG showed slightly enlarged ovaries with numerous tiny follicles distributed around the periphery and increased central stroma. Results from the lab indicated that elevated serum testosterone levels, specifically, were responsible for the symptoms. The patient is also normal in her lipid profile, of HDL and lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), which could lead to difficulties for cardiovascular problems. The results of earlier research on lean PCOS must be confirmed, and the diagnostic and treatment algorithms suggested in this study must be consolidated through carefully planned randomized controlled trials. By doing this, medical experts will be able to manage lean women with PCOS more clinically
