Abstract:
A virilizing, gonadotrophin-responsive adrenal cortical adenoma was removed from a 54-year-old woman. Following removal of the tumour, which contained and secreted androgens and estradiol, serum gonadotrophins rose to menopausal levels and the patient experienced menopausal symptoms. Pre-operative attempts to localize the source of androgens were unsuccessful.
