Summary Introduction

To review:

The rationale behind females with hormone-secreting tumors of the adrenal cortex occasionally developing male secondary sex characters.

Introduction:

Hormones like testosterone and estrogen are called sex hormones as they help in the expression of male and female secondary sexual characteristics, respectively. These sex hormones are produced by the testes and ovaries, respectively, and in small quantities by the adrenal glands. The secondary sexual characteristics can be defined as characteristics based on specific sex but expressed on the organs not related to reproductive system.
