title: [Virilizing tumor in a woman. Management].
abstract: Androgen secreting ovarian or adrenal neoplasms represent a rare cause of hirsutism in women. Because of their small volume and episodic secretion, a number of these tumors may be difficult to diagnose and treat. The authors report a case of lipoid cell tumor of the ovary, which was only detected, because of its small volume, by catheterization of adrenal and ovarian veins. This latter procedure should be performed when strong clinical and biological suspicion is faced by the negativity of other imaging techniques.
