Virilizing adrenocortical carcinoma: role of computed tomography.
A 31-year-old woman who presented with virilization was found to have elevated plasma testosterone and increased urinary 17-KS levels. The apparent source of androgens was detected and defined by CT scanning as a right-sided adrenal mass lesion, which was successfully resected and which proved to be an adrenocortical carcinoma.
