Hyperandrogenism is a common disorder among women in the reproductive age group. One of the rare causes for androgen excess is sex cord- stromal tumors of the ovary. These are usually unilateral. Here we report case of a 48 year old woman who presented with hyperandrogenism due to bilateral ovarian thecoma. Androgen levels normalized following resection of the tumor. This, to the best of our knowledge, is the first case of bilateral thecoma presenting as hirsutism in a premenopausal woman.
高雄激素血症是育龄期女性的常见疾病。雄激素过多的罕见原因之一是卵巢性索间质肿瘤。这些肿瘤通常为单侧性。在此,我们报告一例48岁女性因双侧卵巢卵泡膜细胞瘤出现高雄激素血症的病例。肿瘤切除后雄激素水平恢复正常。据我们所知,这是绝经前女性双侧卵泡膜细胞瘤表现为多毛症的首例病例。
