    TLDR A rare ovarian tumor was diagnosed in a woman from North Brazil, and surgery is the preferred treatment.
    The document is a case report of a rare type of ovarian tumor known as Steroid Tumor Without Other Specification (NOS), which accounts for 60% of all ovarian tumors of steroid cells and is associated with the development of hyperandrogenic syndromes. The case involves a 52-year-old post-menopausal woman who showed signs of virilization and was diagnosed with NOS. The report emphasizes the rarity and diagnostic difficulty of NOS tumors due to their similarity with other hormonal disorders. It also notes that bilateral salpingooferectomy surgery is the preferred treatment in such cases.
