This might be the second report of a arrhenoblastoma in Korea. A 20 year old unmarried Korean woman was admitted to this hospital on Aug. 20, 1966, because of secondary amenrrhea, male type of trichosis(around the genital area and lower extremity), lower and deeper as male voice, many pimples, mamatrophy, prominent Adam`s apple etc. since 17 year old, and she also felt a mass in her lower abdomen recently. By physical examination, a hard mass was palpable as big as foetus head size in the right lower quadrant region, and the clitoris enlarged about 3.5 cm in length. A laparatomy was performed for removing the right ovaian tumor. General view of the tumor was yellowish-gray, glistening, uneven surface, and partially cystic oval form child head size. Micoscopically the tumor showed a mixed picture of tubular-adenomatous and sarcomatoid type (arrhenoblastoma). The post operative course was not complicated, her menses resumed regularly and pimples gradually disappeared 33 days and 2 months after operation respectively. The other refeminizing appearence were also seen steadily 5 months folling the surgical operation.
