Estrogen secretion from a malignant sex cord stromal tumor in a patient with complete androgen insensitivity.
We report on a 68-year-old patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization syndrome) in whom an estrogen-secreting malignant sex cord stromal tumor developed in an intraabdominal testis. We believe this to be the first such case to document estrogen secretion by the tumor.
