Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors of the ovary are uncommon ovarian tumors. They belong to the ovarian stromal neoplasm. The most striking mode of presentation of these tumours is virilization due to androgen secretion. But approximately 50% of patients with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors have no endocrine manifestations and usually complain of abdominal pain or swelling. Occasional tumors have been associated with various estrogen syndromes. A forty year old Ethiopian lady with well differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the left ovary presenting with features of virilization is described with clinicopathological correlation and literature review.
卵巢支持-间质细胞瘤是一种罕见的卵巢肿瘤。它们属于卵巢间质肿瘤。这些肿瘤最显著的表现方式是由于雄激素分泌导致的男性化。但约50%的支持-间质细胞瘤患者没有内分泌表现,通常主诉腹痛或腹部肿胀。偶尔有肿瘤与各种雌激素综合征相关。本文描述了一名40岁的埃塞俄比亚女性,她患有左卵巢高分化支持-间质细胞瘤,伴有男性化特征,并进行了临床病理相关性分析及文献复习。
