Efficacy of selective venous sampling to localize a small ovarian androgen-producing tumor

J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 1999 Aug;25(4):231-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1447-0756.1999.tb01154.x.

Abstract

Two cases of androgen-producing tumors, including a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in a woman of reproductive age and a Leydig cell tumor in a postmenopausal woman, are reported herein. In both cases, only selective venous sampling was able to detect the presence of the androgen-producing ovarian tumors.
