Abstract
- A case of intermediate differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with elevated Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels occurred in a 15-year-old girl. No germ cell component and no heterologous elements were identified. Secretion of AFP by Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor has rarely been mentioned previously, and its mechanism is difficult to explain. We present this case with review of related literatures.
