Steroid cell tumours of the ovary are uncommon sex- hormone secreting tumours characterized by a steroid cell proliferation. The incidence of steroid cell tumour of the ovary is only 0.1% of all ovarian tumours. As far as steroid cell tumours, not otherwise specified (NOS) is concerned; it constitutes about 56% of all steroid cell tumours. Here we present a case of 55-year-old, postmenopausal patient who presented with complaints of bleeding per vaginum and abdominal pain for last 3-4 months, with history of excessive hair growth since 3-4 years. Ultrasonography revealed a solid right ovarian mass with a possibility of ovarian sex cord tumour. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of steroid cell tumour NOS type with no cytological atypia.
卵巢类固醇细胞瘤是一种罕见的分泌性激素的肿瘤，其特征为类固醇细胞增殖。卵巢类固醇细胞瘤的发病率仅占所有卵巢肿瘤的0.1%。就未另行特指的（NOS）类固醇细胞瘤而言，它约占所有类固醇细胞瘤的56%。在此，我们报告一例55岁的绝经后患者，该患者在过去3 - 4个月出现阴道出血和腹痛的症状，并有3 - 4年的多毛病史。超声检查发现右侧卵巢有一实性肿块，可能为卵巢性索肿瘤。组织病理学确诊为NOS型类固醇细胞瘤，无细胞学异型性。
