June 2006 in “International Journal of Gynecological Pathology” This study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.
October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” This clinical case study reports on a postmenopausal woman experiencing hair loss and virilization symptoms, which were ultimately attributed to rare ovarian tumors identified after a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, despite normal imaging results.
October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.
October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” In this case report, the authors describe the diagnosis and management of a rare case of hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, attributed to coexisting ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors, with improvement in symptoms following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
