Abstract
-
Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare sex cordstromal tumors, and these neoplasms account for less than 0.5% of all ovarian tumors. Those are more often encountered in young women between the ages of 20 and 30 years who usually become virilized. Recently, we experienced an unusual case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with mucinous heterologous elements in a 71-year-old postmenopauseal woman. We present it with brief review of literatures.
