Racial disparities in the use of and indications for colorectal procedures in Medicare beneficiaries.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Virilizing adrenocortical tumors are uncommon in adult women. These lesions generally secrete dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), but not testosterone, which usually is produced by ovarian tumors. Exceptionally, adrenal growths may give off testosterone and no other asse...
