A 6-year-old boy presented with gynaecomastia. There was no clinical or biochemical evidence of excessive androgenic or glucorticoid activity, but urinary oestrogen levels were raised. An adrenocortical adenoma, demonstrated by x-ray, was surgically removed. Oestrogen levels fell immediately. 3 years later the boy shows complete regression of the gynaecomastia and no signs of recurrence.
一名6岁男孩出现乳腺增生。没有临床或生化证据表明存在雄激素或糖皮质激素活性过高的情况,但尿雌激素水平升高。经X线检查发现肾上腺皮质腺瘤,遂进行手术切除。雌激素水平立即下降。3年后,该男孩的乳腺增生完全消退,且无复发迹象。
