Kallmann’s syndrome is very rare congenital defect in GnRH (gonadotrophin releasing hormone) secretion involving both sexes. The mode of inheritance has not been fully understood. But, including X-linked inheritance, the ratio of incidence between male versus female is 5:1, and there is a few case reports of female Kallmann’s syndrome in Korea, especially in internal medicine department. We report a case of 35 year-old female Kallmann’s syndrome presenting secondary amenorrhea as a mild presentation.
