    Author: Braithwaite SS, Erkman-Balis B, Avila TD.
    Journal: J Clin Endocrinol Metab; 1978 Feb; 46(2):295-300. PubMed ID: 220276.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old woman presented with hirsutism of long duration and virilization of recent onset. 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.
