Abstract

Direct measurements of sebum with the Sebumeter were used in a patient with a benign androgen‐producing tumor of the ovary. Androgen levels fell immediately after surgery whereas the markedly elevated sebum levels found preoperatively dropped to normal after a delay of more than 2 weeks. Therefore, the Subumeter, due to its simplicity, may useful for the preliminary screening and follow‐up of patients with hyperandrogenic states.
