Abstract

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is a gonadal tumor of the sex cord-stromal type. It is a rare tumor comprising 0.5% of all ovarian tumors and is best known for their frequent virilizing effects among the young women. They also have very rarely been reported in association with other ovarian neoplasms. We report such a tumor accompanied with a mature cystic teratoma at the same ovary in a 61-year-old postmenopausal woman without any virilization sign. We present it with brief review of literatures.

Key Words: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, Mature cystic teratoma, Postmenopause
