Increases of ketosteroids in urine accompany adrenal carcinomas, pregnancy, and administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone, as well as interstitial cell tumor of the testis, Cushings syndrome, nonmalignant adrenal tumors inducing virilism, androgenic arrhenoblastoma, and lutein cell tumors of the ovary, female pseudohermaphrosidism, and the adrenogenital syndrom associated with adrenal hyperplasia.
