Abstract
A 68-year-old woman who had virilization was found to have an androgen -secreting simple ovarian cyst at laparotomy. Histologic examination d emonstrated hilus cell hyperplasia in the ovarian hilus and cyst wall. In the differential diagnosis of postmenopausal virilization, hilus c ell hyperplasia, although rare, should be considered.
