Hyperandrogenism, oligomenorrhea, and erythrocytosis caused by an ovarian Leydig cell tumor: A case report

Leydig cell tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms. Affected individuals typically present with amenorrhea/oligomenorrhea and rapidly progressive features of virilization. Erythrocytosis can also occur as a result of high testosterone levels.
