title: [Androgen-secreting tumor in an adrenal tumor discovered by accident after amenorrhea caused by a meningeal hemorrhage].
abstract: Androgen-secreting tumors are uncommon among adrenal secreting tumors. The case reported here concerns an adrenal tumor secreting androgens, unexpectedly found after a sudden amenorrhea caused by a meningeal haemorrhage, with positive outcome after adrenalectomy. The indication of increased secretion of oestrogens and androgens, should suggest the presence of adrenal androgen-secreting tumor.
