Keywords:
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, Androgen secreting Neoplasm, Virilising Ovarian TumorsAbstract
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is a group of tumors composed of variable proportions of Sertoli cells, Leydig
cells and sometimes heterologous elements. Most tumors are unilateral, confined to the ovaries, and are seen
during the second and third decades of life. These tumors are characterized by the presence of testicular
structures that produce androgens. Hence, many patients have symptoms of virilization depending on the quantity
of androgen production.1
We are presenting a case of 16 yrs old girl who presented with symptoms of virilization. She was operated for the
ovarian mass. A diagnosis of sertoli-leydig cell tumor was rendered.
