A steroid cell tumor outside the ovary is a rare cause of virilization.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To report the case of a female who presented in childhood with symptoms and signs of hyperandrogenism secondary to an extraovarian steroid cell tumor. DESIGN:Case report. SETTING:Endocrine investigation unit of a university teaching hospital. PATIENT(S):An 11-year-old female presented with symptoms and signs of hyperandrogenism. INTERVENTION(S):Ultrasonography, MRI imaging, bilateral adrenal and ovarian venous sampling, laparoscopy, and laparotomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Ultrasonography, laboratory tests. RESULT(S):Hyperandrogenism was due to an extraovarian steroid cell tumor located in the broad ligament. The tumor was successfully removed at laparotomy with biochemical and clinical resolution of the hyperandrogenism. CONCLUSION(S):Extraovarian steroid cell tumor is a rare cause of hyperandrogenism.
