Abstract:
A case report on a 73 year old woman with an Leydig cell tumor of the right ovary accidentally discovered after hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is given. Signs of virilization existed for many years, but no diagnostic investigations had been performed. Histologically a well-differentiated Leydig cell tumor was found as the reason of the androgenic changes which regressed after extirpation of the tumor.
