Lipoid cell tumor of the ovary.
An androgen-secreting tumor of the left ovary was preoperatively localized in a 55-year-old virilized woman by radioimmunoassay of blood androgens. The blood sample was obtained by bilateral catheterization of the ovarian and adrenal veins using a percutaneous retrograde femoral approach. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed, and revealed a lipoid cell tumor of the left ovary and right ovarian stromal hyperplasia. Despite early postoperative return of plasma adrogens to the normal range, virilizing signs persisted almost unchanged 1 year after surgery.
