Virilization, which is rare, occurs only with severe hyperandrogenism and typically includes deepening of the voice and clitoromegaly. Virilization are seen when the serum testosterone concentration is more severely elevated (eg, over 150 ng/dL), which occurs in ovarian hyperthecosis and androgen-secreting ovarian or adrenal tumors. Although serum testosterone levels may be somewhat elevated in women with PCOS, they are not in a range that can cause virilization.
