Ovarian thecoma with androgenic manifestations in a postmenopausal woman.

A 50-year-old woman, who presented with progressive androgenization, central obesity and severe hypertension, was initially suspected to have an adrenal virilizing tumor. Her serum testosterone level was in the male range (9.3-11.6 ng/ml) and was not suppressed with dexamethasone. Although no pathological abdominal or pelvic mass was detected, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a theca-cell tumor of the right ovary. Postoperatively the testosterone level returned to normal and the patient had regression of virilism. Our case illustrates that a virilizing ovarian tumor can be small and elude imaging studies, but may be detected by means of well-considered clinical management.

[Demons-Meigs' syndrome. A case of thecoma and ovarian fibroma].

The authors report two cases of Demons-Meigs' syndrome, one following an ovarian fibrothecoma and the other an ovarian fibroma. There was a striking rise in the serum CA 125 level which was higher than 200 UI/ml, suggestive of cancer of the ovary in both cases. With the help of the literature data, the clinicopathological features of this rare condition and the different hypotheses concerning its aetiology are commented.
