ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
to evaluate the different presentations of hyperandrogenism produced by ovarian tumors in women at different life stagesDESIGN:
case report.SETTING:
academic institutions. PATIENT(S) 3 patients at different life stages, with increased androgen levels. INTERVENTION(S) review of hospital records. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) clinical and biochemical features, treatment and follow-up. RESULT(S) a 10 year-old girl with Leydig cell tumor presented with hyperandrogenemia, virilization and changes in social behavior. Another patient, at reproductive age, with a tumor>10 cm, presented with signs of virilization and abdominal mass, whose pathologic analysis disclosed a carcinoid tumor of the ovary associated with stromal hyperplasia. The third patient was a postmenopausal woman with severe alopecia, who presented a steroid cell tumor, rare at that age. CONCLUSION(S) the evaluation of women with signs and symptoms of virilization should include a detailed clinical record, thorough physical examination and an appropriate hormonal dosage, especially when images are inconclusive.
