Abstract
This report reinforces the need to consider pituitary hCG as the origin of persistently elevated hCG levels in patients with gonadal failure. Although levels of hCG <14 mIU/mL have been considered normal in postmenopausal women, our case suggests that patients with gonadal failure at younger ages might have a higher pituitary output of hCG.
