Abstract
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors constitute less than 5% of ovarian tumors. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl with virilization, amenorrhea, and abdominal pain, who was diagnosed with a left annexal tumor. Laboratory investigations revealed isolated testosterone elevation. Because the tumor was unilateral, the capsule was intact, and the patient wished to preserve her fertility, left salpingooophorectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a mixed Sertoli-Leydig/juvenile granulosa cell tumor with a cartilaginous heterologous component, which could be considered a gynandroblastoma. Symptoms of virilization progressively improved.
