    Author: Scheper H, van Dillen J, Blok P, Berning B.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2007 Dec 15; 151(50):2792-6. PubMed ID: 18232200.
    Abstract:
    An 82-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with severe clinical hyperandrogenism related to testosterone overproduction, possibly as a result of a mucinous cystadenoma. The cystadenoma was successfully removed in toto. The patient was discharged in good health. Plasma testosterone levels normalised 6 weeks after surgery. Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas are a rare cause ofhyperandrogenism.
