This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

In this case report, a 68-year-old woman with a Leydig cell tumor of the ovary experienced virilization, and surgical removal led to normalization of testosterone levels and regression of symptoms.

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.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with signs of virilization and high testosterone levels was found to have an ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of systematically investigating such symptoms in postmenopausal women to determine the underlying etiology and prevent poor prognosis.

The removal of the adrenal tumor improved the patient's symptoms and reduced androgen levels, indicating successful surgery.
