A member asked:
What effect will having an adrenal tumor that produces a lot of estrogen have on a female's growth if left untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take it out: It needs to come out - really rare and potentially malignant. High estrogen levels still increases risk for other cancers, particularly breast and endometrial. Additionally, for the girl, sexual maturity comes quickly, growth will be stunted due to acceleration of growth plate maturity leading to premature closure. Infertiility and other problems.
