title: Hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman.
abstract: Ovarian androgen hypersecretion is a wellrecognized cause of hirsutism and virilization in postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis is a nonneoplastic functional disorder, which results from abnormal regulation of ovarian steroidogenesis. We present a patient with postmenopausal hyperandrogenism due to ovarian hyperthecosis.
