[Androgen secreting adrenal cortex tumors]. 1979

H Gerl, and G Knappe, and P Neumann, and F Stahl

Endokrine active tumours of the adrenal cortex are rare diseases in man. Benign as well as malignant tumours of the adrenal cortex can alone excrete cortisol, aldosterone, androgens or oestrogens. More frequent are, however, tumours with a mixed incretion. Publications about tumours forming sexual hormones are above all descriptions of individual cases. After a short explanation of the most important clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects on androgen-producing tumours of the adrenal cortex four own cases are discussed.
