Definition
English
:
A gonadal stromal neoplasm composed only of
THECA CELLS
, occurring mostly in the postmenopausal OVARY. It is filled with lipid-containing spindle cells and produces
ESTROGENS
that can lead to
ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA
;
UTERINE HEMORRHAGE
; or other malignancies in postmenopausal women and sexual precocity in girls. When tumors containing
theca cells
also contain
FIBROBLASTS
, they are identified as thecoma-fibroma tumors with less active hormone production.
