title: Mature teratoma, a rare cause of virilization in adolescence.
abstract: Virilization in an adolescent patient can occur for multiple reasons (ovarian, suprarenal or exogenous reasons). We describe a 14-year-old patient with 1-year secondary amenorrhea, who had an ovarian mature teratoma as a cause of her clinical history.
