A 64-year-old postmenopausal female patient presented with approximately 5 years of intermittent spotting, progressive hirsutism and significantly increased libido and clitoral hypersensitivity with spontaneous orgasms multiple times a day beginning a few months prior. Initial hormone work-up revealed elevated total serum testosterone, androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone. Luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, thyroid stimulating hormone and prolactin were all within normal limits. Initial suspicions suggested an androgen-secreting tumour, likely in the ovary. The lesion was undetectable on transvaginal ultrasound and abdominal-pelvic CT scan. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed to remove the likely source of excess androgens. Visible gross lesions were not observed intraoperatively; however, bilateral Leydig (hilus cell) tumours were confirmed by histopathology. Serum testosterone, androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels were normalised postoperatively within 2 weeks and 1 month, respectively.
一位 64 岁绝经后女性患者出现间歇性点滴状出血约 5 年,多毛症进行性加重,性欲显著增加,阴蒂敏感性增加,自发性每日多次性高潮,始于数月前。初步激素检查显示总血清睾酮、雄烯二酮和 17-羟孕酮升高。促黄体生成素、促卵泡生成素、雌二醇、硫酸脱氢表雄酮、促甲状腺激素和催乳素均在正常范围内。最初怀疑是卵巢分泌雄激素的肿瘤。经阴道超声和腹部盆腔 CT 扫描均未发现病变。腹腔镜双侧输卵管卵巢切除术用于切除可能导致过多雄激素的来源。术中未观察到明显的大体病变;然而,组织病理学证实双侧莱迪希细胞瘤(门细胞)。术后 2 周和 1 个月,血清睾酮、雄烯二酮和 17-羟孕酮水平分别正常化。
