Abstract
Our purpose was to investigate the source of human chorionic gonadotropin production in a nonpregnant, premenopausal woman. A case of human chorionic gonadotropin production by the pituitary gland in a premenopausal woman is described. Our results confirm that a biologically active human chorionic gonadotropin-like molecule was secreted in a nonpregnant woman. Our results indicate that the pituitary gland was the most likely source of human chorionic gonadotropin production.
