RAMOS ROBLEDO, Alejandro  and  DEL BUSTO MESA, Abdel. Presentation of a case of Cooke-Apert-Gallais syndrome. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2020, vol.39, n.2  Epub June 01, 2020. ISSN 1561-3011.

A study was conducted of a female 47-year-old patient with a history of good health and no personal or family atopic antecedents, who attends endocrinology consultation due to increased growth of body hair of two years' evolution. Physical examination revealed facial reddishness, a male pubic shield, predominance of the scapular waist over the abdominal waist, and 3.5 cm hypertrophy of the clitoris. Complementary tests found a marked increase in blood testosterone, which led to the performance of hysterectomy with double adnexectomy. The result of the biopsy was benign Leydig cell tumor. The final diagnosis was Cooke-Apert-Gallais syndrome due to a testosterone-producing tumor in the ovary.

Keywords : hyperandrogenism; hirsutism; endocrinopathy.
