title: [Biosynthetis in vitro of estrogens by an adrenal cortex tumor].
abstract: A polysecretory cortico-adrenal tumor from a 46 year old woman was incubated in presence of tritiated pregnenolone and progesterone. Nine estrogens were isolated and identified by radio-gas-chromatography. This outstanding synthesis ability was in line with the high rates of urinary estrogens found in this patient.
