RESUMO
Ovarian hyperthecosis has variable clinical importance. It can cause hyperandrogenism, particulary in premenopausal women, and may be a rare cause of androgenic alopecia in postmenopausal women. The physiological level of androgens secreted by ovarian stromal cells is greatly increased with hyperplastic or neoplastic transformation leading to possible clinical consequences. We report a case of postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis
