October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” A 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of diabetes and breast cancer presented with worsening alopecia and other signs of hyperandrogenism. Laboratory tests revealed elevated testosterone and androstenedione levels. Imaging showed a stable left adrenal nodule, but no ovarian abnormalities. Adrenal and ovarian vein sampling indicated the ovaries as the testosterone source. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) was performed, revealing bilateral Leydig cell tumors and a left ovarian Brenner tumor. Post-surgery, the patient's alopecia resolved, and testosterone levels normalized. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism due to rare ovarian tumors.
October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” A 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of diabetes and breast cancer presented with worsening alopecia and other signs of hyperandrogenism. Laboratory tests revealed elevated testosterone and androstenedione levels. Imaging showed a stable left adrenal nodule, but no ovarian abnormalities. Adrenal and ovarian vein sampling indicated the ovaries as the testosterone source. A multidisciplinary team recommended bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), which revealed bilateral Leydig cell tumors and a left ovarian Brenner tumor. Post-surgery, the patient's alopecia resolved, and testosterone levels normalized. This case highlights the complexity of diagnosing hyperandrogenism due to rare ovarian tumors despite normal imaging.
October 2024 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” A 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with a history of diabetes and breast cancer presented with worsening alopecia and other signs of hyperandrogenism. Laboratory tests revealed elevated testosterone and androstenedione levels. Imaging showed a stable adrenal nodule, but ovarian imaging was inconclusive. Ovarian vein sampling indicated the ovaries as the testosterone source. A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) was performed, revealing bilateral Leydig cell tumors and a Brenner tumor. Post-surgery, the patient's alopecia resolved, and testosterone levels normalized. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and the necessity of BSO for accurate diagnosis and management, even when imaging appears normal.
