Steroid cell ovarian tumors, not otherwise specified, represent a unique cause of female virilization. Most commonly encountered in premenopausal women, these tumors can exist throughout a women\u2019s lifetime, from before puberty until after menopause.<jats:italic>Case<\/jats:italic>. Steroid cell, not otherwise specified, was diagnosed in a 70-year-old female significant for hirsutism. The patient demonstrated elevated total testosterone levels with normal gonadotropins, DHEA, and DHEA-S levels. CT imaging revealed a right ovarian mass and subsequent laparoscopic right oophorectomy yielded clinical improvement promptly.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Virilization in females can occur based on ovarian or adrenal pathology. In terms of ovarian-based female virilization, many tumors exist that may induce women to demonstrate masculine features, such as pure Sertoli, pure Leydig, Sertoli-Leydig combinations, and gynandroblastomas. Each of these tumor types possesses a unique histologic pattern that allows for pathologic identification after removal. A rare source of ovarian-based female virilization is steroid cell neoplasms, not otherwise specified, that do not demonstrate these specific histologic characteristics and thus represent a diagnosis of exclusion after other causes of ovarian-based female virilization have been ruled out.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/253152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,11]],"date-time":"2012-10-11T11:06:45Z","timestamp":1349953605000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Steroid Cell Ovarian Neoplasm, Not Otherwise Specified: A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Paul","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Missouri Kansas City, Kansas City, MO 64108, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Deleon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, John Peter Smith Hospital, Fort Worth, TX 76104, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ralph","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, John Peter Smith Hospital, Fort Worth, TX 76104, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0720-048X(96)01133-3"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2004.12.037"},{"key":"3","first-page":"33","volume":"43","year":"2007","journal-title":"Hospital Physician"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000050006"},{"issue":"11","key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"835","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-198711000-00002","volume":"11","year":"1987","journal-title":"American Journal of Surgical Pathology"},{"issue":"4","key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"710","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19820815)50:4<710::AID-CNCR2820500415>3.0.CO;2-H","volume":"50","year":"1982","journal-title":"Cancer"},{"issue":"3","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"288","DOI":"10.1016\/S0025-6196(11)65035-0","volume":"75","year":"2000","journal-title":"Mayo Clinic Proceedings"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1438.2007.00957.x"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/253152.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/253152.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/253152.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T01:15:20Z","timestamp":1498007720000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2012\/253152\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":8,"alternative-id":["253152","253152"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2012\/253152","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6684","2090-6692"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6684","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6692","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
