title: Diseases and tumours associated with virilization: pediatric aspects.
abstract: Much light has been shed on the underlying disturbances of virilization syndromes. The clinical aspects remain enormously manifold, and close teamwork between the pediatrician and pediatric surgeon is indispensable. In this chapter, the sources of androgens responsible for virilization and the syndrome of male pseudohermaphroditism are discussed in detail.
