摘要
The case of an adolescent female with a hormone-producing adrenal tumor is reported. The patient was characterized by virilization and Cushing's syndrome. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and androstenedione levels were considerably elevated but cortisol excretion showed only a moderate increase. The most common presenting sign of hormone-producing adrenal tumors is virilization particularly in combination with weight gain und accelerated growth velocity. A complete radical operation is the therapy of choice. The tumor was completely resected and 3.5 years after diagnosis there has been no recurrence.
