Adrenal Virilism

          Adrenal virilism is the development or pre­mature development of male secondary sexual characteristics caused by male sex hormones (androgens) excessively pro­duced by the adrenal gland. This disorder can occur before birth and can lead to sexual abnormalities in newborns. It can also occur in girls and women later in life.
