- ItemVirilization caused by an ovarian tumor. Report of one case(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2011) Salman M, Patricio; Cuello F, Mauricio; Kolbach, Marianne; Gejman, Roger; Arteaga U, EugenioWe report a 76-year-old woman with a virilization syndrome characterized by progressive androgenic alopecia, clitoris enlargement and hirsutism predominating in the face. Plasma testosterone was 711 ng/dl. Magnetic resonance imaging showed slightly enlarged ovaries with a cyst in the left. A bilateral oophorectomy was performed, demonstrating the presence of a Leydig cell hilar tumor in the right ovary. The patient had a good postoperative evolution with reduction of androgen levels and reversion of alopecia. (Rev Med Chile 2011; 139: 1066-1070).
