Tritiated pregnenolone, 17
-hydroxypregnenolone, progesterone, 17
-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone and androstenedione were incubated separately with homogenates from an undifferentiated embryonal cell sarcoma obtained from an 11-yr.-old girl. [3H]Pregnenolone and [3H]17
-hydroxypregnenolone were converted to [3H]oestradiol-17β in larger proportion than [3H]progesterone and [3H]17
-hydroxyprogesterone. The steroidogenesis in the sarcoma was very similar to that reported for the theca cells of the human ovarian follicle.
