[Virilization and metabolic disease in postmenopausal women related to ovarian hyperplasia and hypertecosis].

During menopausal transition, mild clinical signs of hyperandrogenism may appear as part of the normal aging process, but the development of frank virilization suggests a specific source of androgen excess. In this context, androgen-secreting tumors at both adrenal and ovarian levels should be ruled out. We present the case of a 51-year-old postmenopausal woman with signs of 12 month period virilization, associated with personal history of type 2 diabetes and arterial hypertension, poorly managed in the past year.
