Abstract
Ovarian hemangiomas are generally asymptomatic. However, associated stromal luteinization, reported in some cases, may lead to the development of hyperandrogenic syndrome. We report the case of a 61-year-old female referred to the endocrinology outpatient clinic for hirsutism, hair loss, and deepening of the voice tone. The investigation showed high serum testosterone and normal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS). Normal ovaries were observed in the initial transvaginal ultrasound, but an abdominal-pelvic nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified a solid mass in the right ovary. The patient underwent surgery, and pathological examination revealed a capillary-type ovarian hemangioma with stromal luteinization. After the surgery, clinical and analytical response was very favorable.
