OBJECTIVE: To increase awareness of the potential to cause virilization in postmenopausal woman secondary to a spouse's use of topical androgen.
DESIGN: Case report.
SETTING: University-affiliated teaching hospital.
PATIENT(S): A 63-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization.
INTERVENTION(S): Removal of the source of androgen exposure.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Regression of the biochemical and physical signs of androgen excess in a woman after cessation of T gel use by her partner, and reinitiation of use with precautions against potential methods of transfer.
RESULT(S): This case highlights the unintentional transdermal absorption of testosterone sufficient to induce virilization in a couple who were aware of this potential problem. The apparent source of androgen absorption was a washcloth that the couple shared. The diagnosis can be established with a detailed history and a few blood tests (total and free T, and DHEAS) to exclude other sources of androgens.
CONCLUSION(S): This report reinforces the need to consider exogenous androgen exposure in the differential diagnosis of virilization in adults when the more common causes have been excluded.
