Objective: To raise awareness of the clinical presentation of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell tumor, not otherwise specified, causing pulmonary embolus (PE) and erythrocytosis.

Methods: Report of the first known case of ovarian steroid cell tumor not otherwise specified leading to PE.

Results: A 67-year-old Caucasian postmenopausal woman was referred for endocrine evaluation of a 1-year history of hirsutism, weight gain, and elevated total testosterone level of 672 ng/dL (normal, <75 ng/dL).
