Combined adrenal and ovarian venous sampling to localize an androgen producing tumor.

Monica D Agarwal1, Scott O Trerotola.   

Abstract

A postmenopausal woman presented with hirsutism and elevated serum testosterone levels. A 1-cm adrenal adenoma was noted on computed tomography. Combined adrenal and ovarian venous sampling was performed to localize an androgen producing tumor to the left ovary. The patient underwent a bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy and was spared an unnecessary adrenalectomy.
