| Popis: | The clinical course, the hormone secretion, the testosterone receptors and the enzymatic activities related to androgen metabolism in a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of virilization and ovarian endometrioma are reported. Unexpectedly, at the time of examination, no evidence of biochemical hyperandrogenism was obtained. The uncommon association of virilization and ovarian endometrioma simulating a functioning tumor of the ovary is discussed. |
