Bilateral ovarian capillary hemangioma with stromal luteinization and hyperandrogenism.

چکیده
A 77-year-old female presented to the outpatient clinic with a six-month history of left lower quadrant abdominal fullness and pressure. Serum levels included free testosterone 3.8 pg/mL (normal 0-1.8 pg/mL) and testosterone 259 ng/dL (normal 3-41 ng/dL). Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis showed bilateral small ovarian cystic masses with marked, progressive enhancement, and restriction of diffusion. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and showed left and right ovarian hemorrhagic masses measuring 2.1 cm and 0.6 cm respectively. The histology showed benign vascular lesions composed of small capillary vessels with a rim of luteinized stromal cells. The luteinized cells were strongly positive for inhibin A. The endothelial cells were negative for estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of bilateral ovarian hemangioma with stromal luteinization and hyperandrogenism.

Background: It is well known that there is a close relationship between elevated androgen plasma levels and the ultrasound findings of stromal hypertrophy in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects metformin on the hyperandrogenism and ovarian volume in PCOS. Methods: The study is an unrandomized clinical trial with before–after desig...
متن کاملA rare ovarian tumor, leydig stromal cell tumor, presenting with virilization: a case report
Leydig stromal cell tumor is a rare ovarian tumor that belongs to the group of sex-cord stromal tumors. They produce testosterone leading to hyperandrogenism. We present a 41yr old woman with symptoms of virilization and a mass of right adenex via ultra Sonography, and a rise of total and free serum testosterone. An ovarian source of androgen was suspected and a surgery performed. A diagnosis ...
