Abstract :

Background– Sertoli–Leydig Cell Tumor is a rare ovarian tumor that belongs to the group of sex–cord stromal tumor. Ovarian sex cord stromal tumors arises from the stromal cells that surround and support the oocytes. These Neoplasm accounts for less than 0.5% of ovarian neoplasm and occurs at an average age of 25 years , except for the Retiform variant that trends to present at younger age (approx. 15 years).

Case Report– A 55 years old woman presented with pelvic pain was found to have large complex left adnexal mass on CT. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Ovarian Cystectomy was done and the specimen was received in our Department of Pathology Dr S N Medical College, Jodhpur for Histopathological examination. The Ovarian mass was diagnosed as Sertoli–Leydig Cell Tumor, Retiform variant StageIA. While the usual age of presentation of these tumors are around 15 years of age.

Conclusion–This case report is presented because of the rarity of The Retiform Sertoli–Leydig Cell Tumor of Ovary and the unusual older age of 55 years at the time of diagnosis. Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors, including Retiform variant , often present a diagnostic challenge due to the various morphological patterns that may be assumed by the tumor.
