Norwegian term

PCCS

Norwegian to English Medical Medical (general) Norwegian medical
Hei!

For the medics among you, is there a medical condition with this abbreviation (in either Norwegian or English), and are there any links with hirsutism? (I rather suspect this abbreviation should have been written as PCOS, but thought I'd enquire.)

Any help, as always, gratefully received!

Mvh
Alison.
