Abstract

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary, also known as androblastoma, is a rare neoplasm from the group of sex cord‑stromal tumors of the ovary. The tumor accounts for <0.5% of all primary ovarian neoplasms. The clinical signs and symptoms of Sertoli‑Leydig cell tumors can be associated with either hormonal production or the presence of a mass‑occupying lesion. In the current study, a 13‑year‑old female was diagnosed with a stage Ⅰc ovarian Sertoli‑Leydig cell tumor following abdominal pain and distension. One month after a right oophorectomy, the follow‑up magnetic resonance imaging scan was negative for residual or recurrent tumor. The overall 5‑year survival rate for moderately‑differentiated (grade 2) and poorly‑differentiated (grade 3) Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors is 80%, and long-term follow-up is therefore highly advised in this patient.
