The injury was discovered incidentally by abdominal imaging, as the patient had been suffering from amenorrhoea and hypertrichosis for over a year. The patient also referred to a tingling sensation in the face and neck and to occasional headaches and blurred vision, as well as weight loss during this time period. The exploration showed widespread oedema, more pronounced on the lower limbs, a marked distribution of hair over the abdomen, chest, arms, and legs, and erythematous rashes on the chest, forearms and abdomen..
