VIRILIZATION WITH DIFFUSE INVOLVEMENT OF OVARIAN ANDROGEN SECRETING CELLS

Abstract

A case [woman] is reported in which virilization of long duration and gradual progression was found in association with ovarian hyperthecosis and bilateral hilar cell lesions. The frequent occurrence of both masculinizing and nonmasculinizing ovarian tumors in association with ovarian hyperthecosis and polycystic ovaries is discussed.
