A member asked:
Why would a non-adrenal tumor cause masculine features in a woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on Location: The adrenal gland is only one of the organs involved in hormonal regulation in women. E.G. Pituitary gland, ovaries, etc also play a role. Therefore, a tumor in an organ that is responsible for hormonal regulation in a female's body can lead to development of masculine features.
