Abstract
A steroid disorder is described in two sisters, aged 13 and 17 years, in which the metabolism of cortisol results almost exclusively in urinary excretion of tetrahydro-cortisone (11-keto) derivatives. The evidence implies the existence of a deficiency in the peripheral enzymatic conversion of cortisone to cortisol.Entities:
