a rare ovarian tumor, leydig stromal cell tumor, presenting with virilization: a case report
Authors
abstract
leydig stromal cell tumor is a rare ovarian tumor that belongs to the group of sex-cord stromal tumors. they produce testosterone leading to hyperandrogenism. we present a 41yr old woman with symptoms of virilization and a mass of right adenex via ultra sonography, and a rise of total and free serum testosterone. an ovarian source of androgen was suspected and a surgery performed. a diagnosis of leydig-stromal cell tumor was confirmed. our report is a reminder that although idiopathic hirsutism and other benign androgen excess disorder like polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) are common, ovarian mass should be considered in differential diagnosis.

full textSclerosing Stromal Tumor: A Rare Ovarian Neoplasm
Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors are relatively infrequent neoplasms that account for approximately 8% of all primary ovarian neoplasm. Sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary include granulosa cell tumors, fibrothecomas, Sertoli-Leydigcell tumors, steroid cell tumors, and sclerosing stromal tumors (SST). Sclerosing stromal tumors account for 2% to 6% of ovarian stromal tumors. Despite the rarity o...
full textA Rare Case of Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor in Postmenopausal Woman Presenting with Alopecia
Mild hirsutism and alopecia in postmenopausal women can be a normal physiological response. Sex cord stromal tumors of ovary account for approximately 5-8% of all ovarian tumors. When hirsutism is accompanied by signs of virilization such as severe balding, deepening of voice or clitoromegaly, an underlying androgen-secreting tumor, that may be malignant must be ruled out. We report a rare case...

Introduction: Metastatic lesions of the oral cavity are extremely rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all malignant oral tumors. The most common primary sources of metastatic tumors in the oral region are, from the most to the least common, the breast, lung, kidney, bone, and colon. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for nearly 3% of all adult malignancies. It usually metastasizes to the lungs,...
full textA Rare Odontogenic Tumor Known as Cementoblastoma; A Case Report
Background: Odontogenic tumors are derived from the epithelial and/or mesenchymal remnants of the tooth-forming apparatus. Therefore, they are found exclusively in tooth-bearing areas. Similar to other neoplasms in the body, odontogenic tumors tend to histologically mimic the cell or tissue of origin. Case history: A 5-year-old boy presented with a chief complaint of pain in the mandible whi...
