Two adrenal androgen-secreting tumors were diagnosed by an adrenal computed tomography (CT) scan. The clinical presentation of the women with or without tumors was similar. Nevertheless, women with tumor exhibited significantly higher testosterone levels and lower basal FSH and LH levels than the other women (2.6\u00b12.7 vs 0.9\u00b10.9\u200ang\/ml,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.05; 26.5\u00b122.9 vs 66.5\u00b126.0\u200aIU\/l,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.01; and 12.0\u00b18.6 vs 24.1\u00b18.9\u200aIU\/l,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.05 respectively).
