Rare ovarian Sertoli-leydig cell tumor: a case report
Keywords:
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, ovarian neoplasms, middle aged.Abstract
ABSTRACTSertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT), also known as arrenoblastoma, is a rare cancer of the ovaries that is part of a group called sex-cord tumors. Although this malignant neoplasm may appear at any age, it is more common in young adults. The Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors represent less than 0.5% of ovarian primitive neoplasms, typically produce androgens which may evolve into virilization of the patients. In this report, we present a case of SLCT in a 56-year old patient. The clinical and laboratorial characteristics and histopathological findings of this rare tumor were discussed in this work, as well as the treatment and follow-up that should be given to this disease.Key-words: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor; ovarian neoplasms; middle aged.
