title: [Maternal virilization due to mucinous ovarian tumour: a case report].
abstract: Virilization in pregnancy is rare and mostly due to luteoma or to hyper-reactio luteinalis. We present a rare case of a virilization borderline mucinous ovarian tumour on a gravida 1 patient. The tumour was responsible for a clinical hyperandrogenism and for an increased level of testosterone. This patient was treated by ovariectomy at 31 weeks of gestation. The surgery was completed one month after delivery. There was no fetal consequence and the clinical and biological signs of virilization totally disappeared after surgery.
