title: [Virilisation due to an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma].
abstract: An 82-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with severe clinical hyperandrogenism related to testosterone overproduction, possibly as a result of a mucinous cystadenoma. The cystadenoma was successfully removed in toto. The patient was discharged in good health. Plasma testosterone levels normalised 6 weeks after surgery. Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas are a rare cause ofhyperandrogenism.
