Abstract
A 53–year–old woman presented with hirsutism of long duration and virilization of recentonset. She was gravida 12 para 9. The 17–ketosteroids were normal, gonadotropins were in the post–menopausal range, and the serum testosterone was in the male range. After bilateral oophorectomy, the testosterone became normal. Ovarian pathology revealed stromal hyperthecosis. (J Clin Endocrinol Metab46:295,1978)Keywords
