Abstrakt: A 64-year-old woman presented to a dermatologist with male pattern hair loss and was found to have grossly elevated testosterone levels at 22.3 nmol/l (normal range, 0.0-2.9 nmol/l). The diagnosis of an androgen-secreting adrenal tumour was made and she underwent a laparoscopic retroperitoneal right adrenalectomy with an uneventful speedy recovery, being discharged in less than 48 h, underlining the clear advantage of this approach.
