leydig cell tumor as a sex-cord stromal tumor is a relatively uncommon ovarian tumorin bitch. a 10-year-old female german shepherd dog was presented because of protrusion of a large tumor-like mass of 16 × 14 × 7 cm in dimensions from her vagina. after stabilization of the patient, the mass was removed surgically and concurrent ovariohysterectomy was also performed. macroscopically, the healthy...

Introduction: Steroid cell tumors (SCTs) constitute less than 0.1% of all ovarian tumors. They are divided into 3 categories according to cell of origin: Stromal Luteoma arising from stromal cells of the ovary, Leydig cell tumor arising from Leydig cells, and SCT not otherwise specified (NOS) when the origin of the tumor is not defined. Case Presentation:...

Leydig cell tumor is a rare benign which belongs to the category of sex cord stromal tumors ovary. usually presents with androgenizing features like hirsutism, deepening voice, or clitoromegaly and are often suspected only if such symptoms present. can however be estrogenizing non-functional. We report an incidental finding in patient who underwent hysterectomy for postmenopausal bleeding.

background: leydig cell tumor is a rare form of testicular neoplasm which comprises 1-3% of all testicular tumors and only about 3% of these tumors are bilateral. a few leydig all tumor have been described in patients with klinefelter�s syndrome so far. case: the patient described in this case report was a 24 year-old man with chief complaint of infertility for one year. physical examination, s...

Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors arise from the stromal cells that surround and support the oocytes. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors belong to this category of ovarian neoplasms. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman who was found to have a right ovarian mass. The mass was resected and diagnosed as Stage I Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, retiform variant, following histopathologic and immunohistochem...

Surface epithelial-stromal tumors are the most common neoplasm of ovary in the reproductive age and beyond. Less than 1% of epithelial ovarian tumors occur before the age of 21 years while 75% of sexcord stromal tumors (Sertoli and Leydig Cell) occur in the third and fourth decades of life. Serous tumors rarely occur in combination with germ cell tumors, sex-cord stromal tumors or granulosa cel...
