  • Title: Pure oestrogen-secreting feminizing adrenocortical adenoma.
    Author: Bhettay E, Bonnici F.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1977 Mar; 52(3):241-3. PubMed ID: 849005.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old boy presented with gynaecomastia. There was no clinical or biochemical evidence of excessive androgenic or glucorticoid activity, but urinary oestrogen levels were raised. An adrenocortical adenoma, demonstrated by x-ray, was surgically removed. Oestrogen levels fell immediately. 3 years later the boy shows complete regression of the gynaecomastia and no signs of recurrence.
