Steroid secretion by a lipoid cell tumor causing virilization and its diagnosis with computerized tomography
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
|December 1, 1985
Abstract:
Presented is the case of a virilized woman with a lipoid cell tumor of the ovary localized by computerized tomography. The major secretory products of the tumor were testosterone and estradiol; the production of androgens was responsible for the clinical features and hindered the effects of estrogens. Elevated levels of estradiol indicated important ovarian aromatase activity as reflected by large ovarian-peripheral venous gradients.
