Virilization in a postmenopausal woman due to ovarian stromal hyperthecosis

J M Goldman et al. Postgrad Med J. 1991 Mar.

Abstract

Virilization in women is occasionally caused by ovarian stromal hyperthecosis. Although three cases of post-menopausal women with hyperthecosis have been reported, the history in two of them strongly suggests a premenopausal origin. We describe a 64 year old woman with postmenopausal virilization due to bilateral ovarian stromal hyperthecosis.
