Abstract
Virilizing tumors, corresponding to 1[%] of all functional ovarian tumors. Those type of virilizing tumors originate from pluripotential ovarian stromal cells and have the capacity to secrete 17-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone and androstenedione, triggering clinical hyperandrogenism. They are classified as low malignant potential, well differentiated, with a pattern of slow growth, mostly diagnosed in stage I and II, with good prognosis and typical of women of reproductive age. The aim of this paper is to present two cases of virilizing ovarian tumor treated by mono port laparoscopic surgery.
