A third case of a testosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma is presented. It differs from the other 2 cases in additionally having glucocorticoid abnormalities. Clinically, the patient had been considered as having polycystic ovaries and did show some improvement with estrogen therapy. In fact, were it not for enlarging uterine leiomyomata on this therapy which prompted a more in depth investigation to look for alternative therapy, this potentially malignant adrenal lesion may never have been discovered.
本文报告了一例分泌睾酮的肾上腺腺瘤病例。该病例与其他两例不同之处在于还存在糖皮质激素异常。临床上，该患者曾被诊断为多囊卵巢综合征，接受雌激素治疗后有一定改善。事实上，若不是因为在该治疗过程中发现子宫平滑肌瘤增大，从而促使进行更深入的检查以寻找替代治疗方法，这个潜在的恶性肾上腺病变可能永远不会被发现。
