- Abstract
The case studies of a 33-year-old African-American female with a history of excessive hair growth on the face, chest, back and arms and a 19-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a 6-month history of excessive hair growth on the face, chest, arms, legs and back are presented. It has been found that testosterone-secreting adrenal tumours are exceedingly rare, most are adenomas and the tumours are usually small and tend to be benign.
