title: Hormonal studies on adrenal-like tumor of the ovary--considerations on its histogenesis.
abstract: A case of adrenal-like tumor of the left ovary with peripheral and ovarian venous sex steroid levels is reported. High levels of androstenedione and testosterone together with normal levels of dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate from the left ovarian vein infer a tumor derivation from transformation of the ovarian stromal cells.
