Objective: To report the case of a female who presented in childhood with symptoms and signs of hyperandrogenism secondary to an extraovarian steroid cell tumor. Design: Case report. Setting: Endocrine investigation unit of a university teaching hospital. Patient(s): An 11-year-old female presented with symptoms and signs of hyperandrogenism. Intervention(s): Ultrasonography, MRI imaging, bilateral adrenal and ovarian venous sampling, laparoscopy, and laparotomy. Main Outcome Measure(s): Ultrasonography, laboratory tests. Result(s): Hyperandrogenism was due to an extraovarian steroid cell tumor located in the broad ligament. The tumor was successfully removed at laparotomy with biochemical and clinical resolution of the hyperandrogenism. Conclusion(s): Extraovarian steroid cell tumor is a rare cause of hyperandrogenism.
