This report describes a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with ovarian endometrioma and virilization who lacked biochemical hyperandrogenism, discussing the uncommon association of these conditions simulating an ovarian tumor.

Abstract

The clinical course, the hormone secretion, the testosterone receptors and the enzymatic activities related to androgen metabolism in a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of virilization and ovarian endometrioma are reported. Unexpectedly, at the time of examination, no evidence of biochemical hyperandrogenism was obtained. The uncommon association of virilization and ovarian endometrioma simulating a functioning tumor of the ovary is discussed.
