Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are uncommon tumors of ovary accounting for about 1% of sex cord stromal tumors. They constitute between 0.1% to 0.5% of all the primary ovarian neoplasms. The majority of reported cases are moderately or poorly differentiated combined Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors. A rare case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with heterologous element in a 14 year girl is described. The heterologous component comprised smooth muscle, an uncommon element, that was seen in 60 to 70% of the tumor area. The epithelial element of the tumor consisted of solid, tubular and foci of retiform pattern. Both these features imply a poor prognosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D010051 Ovarian Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

D018310 Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor A sex cord-gonadal stromal tumor consists of LEYDIG CELLS; SERTOLI CELLS; and FIBROBLASTS in varying proportions and degree of differentiation. Most such tumors produce ANDROGENS in the Leydig cells, formerly known as androblastoma or arrhenoblastoma. Androblastomas occur in the TESTIS or the OVARY causing precocious masculinization in the males, and defeminization, or virilization (VIRILISM) in the females. In some cases, the Sertoli cells produce ESTROGENS.
