Androgen-secreting adrenal neoplasms have a low incidence, usually secrete multiple hormones, and may present with hirsutism, acne, and alopecia. We report an exceedingly rare case of a purely dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) secreting adrenal neoplasm found incidentally on cross sectional imaging. The clinical, biochemical, and pathologic findings of this neoplasm are described.
