Riassunto

I tumori androgeno-secernenti sono neoplasie rare che causano virilizzazione nella donna. La rapida insorgenza e progressione della sintomatologia sono una peculiarità. Il sospetto clinico richiede la conferma biochimica attraverso il dosaggio di testosterone e DHEA-S e la localizzazione della neoplasia attraverso risonanza magnetica nucleare surrenalica o ecografia ovarica; qualora lo studio di imaging risulti negativo è opportuno eseguire il cateterismo venoso selettivo.
