Zur Diagnostik androgenproduzierender Tumoren bei der Frau

Abstract
The diagnostic problems of an androgen producing tumor are described in the review of a case of a 37 yr old woman with marked virilization. Functional endocrine tests, laparoscopy, retroperitoneal pneumography and angiograpy did not establish the diagnosis of an ovary androblastom. The selective catherization of the ovarian and adrena veins established the pre-operative diagnosis of and androgen producing tumor of the left ovary. This permitted monimigation of the operative procedure.
