Indication for diagnostic oophorectomy without radiographic evidence: two cases of postmenopausal androgen-secreting ovarian hyperplasia
In both patients, testosterone levels normalized immediately following total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. In conjunction, these 2 cases highlight the importance of having a high clinical suspicion for steroid cell tumors or hyperplasia in postmenopausal women presenting with features of hyperandrogenism and elevated testosterone levels despite unrevealing radiographic findings.
