The case of a woman who developed a cervical sarcoma botryoides tumor at age 14 years and a right ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with alpha-fetoprotein production at 27 years is presented. The sarcoma botryoides was a stage 1b, 4-cm, polypoid ectocervical tumor treated by radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. The Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor was a stage 1a, 145-g mass removed piecemeal by right oophorectomy. Histologically, it was an intermediate Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with a heterologous element composed of an endometrioid-like yolk sac tumor which was producing alpha-fetoprotein. There was no histological similarity between the two tumors. The patient is alive without evidence of disease, 16 years after diagnosis of her sarcoma botryoides and 3 years after her Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. This is, to our knowledge, the third known association between these two rare gynecological tumors. The basis of the association remains unknown.

D000509 alpha-Fetoproteins The first alpha-globulins to appear in mammalian sera during FETAL DEVELOPMENT and the dominant serum proteins in early embryonic life. alpha-Fetoprotein,alpha Fetoprotein,alpha Fetoproteins
D018233 Rhabdomyosarcoma, Embryonal A form of RHABDOMYOSARCOMA arising primarily in the head and neck, especially the orbit, of children below the age of 10. The cells are smaller than those of other rhabdomyosarcomas and are of two basic cell types: spindle cells and round cells. This cancer is highly sensitive to chemotherapy and has a high cure rate with multi-modality therapy.

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.
