摘要

In this report, we describe the first case ever reported in the literature, of an inhibin-A (INHA) and inhibin-B (INHB) producing fibrothecoma. A post-menopausal woman was referred to our unit because of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level below the reference interval for postmenopausal women. By contrast luteinizing hormone, hCG, and estradiol levels were within normal range. This discrepancy suggested the secretion of FSH inhibitory factors. INHB and INHA levels were markedly elevated for age, 475 pg/mL and 100 pg/mL, respectively. Ultrasonography and MRI showed a pelvic mass of indeterminate nature. Abnormal inhibin secretion is generally observed in granulosa cell tumors. In this case this etiology was unlikely because of low estradiol and AMH levels. Surgical exploration revealed a 10 cm mass of the left ovary proven histologically to be an ovarian fibrothecoma (OFT). After tumor removal, INHB and INHA levels decreased rapidly. Only three cases of OFT with an important secretion of INHB have been reported to date. INHA secretion has never been associated with OFT. There is a need to develop coupled hormone and imaging strategies to diagnose the source of INH secretion in case of FSH/LH discrepancy.
