Virilization by a steroid cell tumor of the ovary
Keywords:
hyperandrogenism, hirsutism, virilization, ovarian tumor, steroid cell tumorAbstract
Hyperandrogenism is characterized by hirsutism, acne, alopecia and oligo/amenorrhea, among its causes are polycystic ovaries and ovarian or adrenal tumors. We present the case of a patient with virilization secondary to a steroid cell tumor of the ovary that improved after resection.
