Abstract

We report on a 19-year-old man with adrenocortical adenoma producing an excessive amount of estrogen. Determination of aromatase activity of the carcinoma tissue revealed its marked enhancement compared with that of 3 normal adrenal glands and the adipose tissue. The enhanced activity of aromatase was mainly responsible for the overproduction of estrogen in the adrenocortical carcinoma of our case.
