Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour of ovary with heterologous elements—A case report

Abstract

Sertoli-Leydig tumors are rare tumors of the ovary, occurring in young women in the majority of cases. They constitute less than 0.5 % of all ovarian neoplasms and 1% of sex-cord tumors. Here, we report a case of a 26 year old multiparous woman presenting with abdominal lump, pain, secondary amenorrhea and virilizing signs and symptoms. A diagnosis of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors of the ovary of intermediate differentiation with heterologous elements was given. Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin combined chemotherapy was given. The patient was healthy and symptom-free at the 6 month follow-up.
