Tumor ovárico secretor de andrógenos en una mujer posmenopáusica

We report the case of a woman with established menopause and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. The first symptom was excess facial hair and increased serum androgen level. The patient rapidly developed the characteristic symptoms of hyperandrogenism with high testosterone level. Computed axial tomography and ultrasound did not identify the tumor, but hormone suppression-stimulation suggested the gynecological origin of the tumor. Postsurgical outcome was favorable with normalization of androgen levels and progressive reduction of symptoms of hyperandrogenism.
