Abstract

Malignant sertoli leydig cell tumors of ovary are rare gynecological malignancies. When they present in adolescent age group they pose a management problem with respect to conservative or radical treatment. These tumors are characterized by the presence of testicular elements that produce androgens. Hence, many patients have symptoms of virilization depending on the quantity of androgen production. The decision of management is usually based on surgical staging. Proper counselling is necessary to ensure compliance for chemotherapy. We are presenting a case of a 16 yrs old girl who presented with symptoms of virilization.
