Clinically, all 4 patients showed evidence of increased androgen production, manifested by either hirsutism or virilization. [link.springer.com]

These data suggest that 1) androgens from the androblastoma are responsible for virilization despite aromatizing enzyme activities within normal limits, and 2) both the delta 5 and delta 4 pathways are involved in the biosynthesis of androgens, with that [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many patients have symptoms of virilization depending on the quantity of androgen production. A small subset are hyperoestrogenic. Hormonally inactive tumors often have a nonspecific presentation such as an abdominal mass and/or pain. [radiopaedia.org]
