Abstract

A 60-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with evidence of hirsutism, alopecia and mild virilization. Clinical examination and biochemical abnormalities suggested that the source of androgen excess was ovarian, and an ovarian tumor was confirmed and removed at laparotomy followed by normal endocrine profile in the postoperative period.
