A 58-year-old woman was virilized by a testosterone-secreting adrenal ganglioneuroma containing Leydig cells with crystalloids of Reinke. Examination of the ovaries revealed stromal hyperthecosis and hilus cell hyperplasia. The evidence from this case, as well as related cases in the literature, suggests that cells of the adrenal gland may become transformed into cells of gonadal type in both hyperplastic and neoplastic disorders.
一名58岁女性因分泌睾酮的肾上腺节细胞神经瘤(含有带Reinke结晶的Leydig细胞)而出现男性化。对卵巢的检查显示有间质卵泡膜细胞增生症和门细胞增生。该病例以及文献中的相关病例证据表明,在增生性和肿瘤性疾病中,肾上腺细胞可能会转化为性腺类型的细胞。
