OVIES CARBALLO, Gisel et al. Tumor virilizante del ovario: Presentación de un caso. Rev Cubana Endocrinol [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.1. ISSN 1561-2953.

Ovarian tumors are divided into functioning and non-functioning. Those presenting endocrine activity and producing androgenization, such as the tumors of Sertoli cells are within the latter group. A case of a 50-year-old female patient that clinically showed signs of progressive virilization was presented. A tumor on the right ovary was found by ultrasound and CAT. After performing surgery, the existence of a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor was confirmed.
