Feminizing adrenocortical carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman. 1979

B Barcelo, and J Abascal, and J Ardaiz, and P Gil, and A Colas, and J Menendez, and J L Inchausti

The successful surgical removal of a feminizing adrenal tumour in a postmenopausal woman is described. Most of these tumours are malignant and the pathological findings and the biological behaviour of the tumour frequently do not correlate, so that a careful follow-up is necessary. In the presence of vaginal bleeding in a postmenopausal woman endometrial carcinoma should be considered. If this has been ruled out and if oestrogens are elevated with low plasma gonadotrophins, a feminizing ovarian or adrenal tumour should be considered.
