BACKGROUND
Ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors (SCST) are rare in childhood and include a variety of neoplasms with different clinical features and biologic behavior. Aim of the analysis was to report the clinical findings and treatment results of a series of patients with SCST of the ovary, registered
BACKGROUND
Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumours (SCST) are relatively uncommon neoplasms that account for approximately 5-7% of all primary ovarian tumours. The aim was to report experience with sex cord stromal tumours (SCST) of ovary in a low and middle income country.
METHODS
Clinical records of 56
A 12-year-old girl presented with chronic abdominal pain and distension that had persisted for 6 and 3 months, respectively. The cause was a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour originating in the left ovary. The cyst and ovary were resected. The patient recovered and was asymptomatic 2 years after the
Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT) are rare neoplasms of unknown etiology. Only 67 cases have been reported in the literature, to our knowledge, so far. The neoplasm usually occurs in middle-aged women. Most patients present with abnormal uterine bleeding and/or abdominal
Seventeen granulosa cell, thirteen Sertoli-Leydig cell and six unclassified sex cord-stromal tumors diagnosed during pregnancy or the puerperium were reviewed. Eleven patients presented with abdominal pain or swelling, five in shock, two with virilization, and one with vaginal bleeding. Three
Gonadoblastoma is a rare ovarian neoplasm which belongs to "germ cell-sex cord-stromal tumor" category. This tumor is frequently associated with invasive germ cell malignancy. It commonly arises in dysgenetic gonads of young individuals who are phenotypically females but possess 46XY karyotype. It
BACKGROUND
Ovarian tumors are uncommon but important childhood neoplasms.
METHODS
We reviewed records of 67 pediatric patients presenting to three pediatric referral centers from 1980 to 2003.
RESULTS
Thirty patients had benign tumors. Thirty-seven patients had malignant tumors: 11 immature
BACKGROUND
The Sertoli and Leydig cell tumor is an unusual neoplasm that belongs to the sex cord-stromal tumors. Generally these tumors are associated with good prognosis. These tumors usually present virilizing symptoms such as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, hirsutism, voice raucity, laryngeal
Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) represent <2% of primary ovarian tumors, which range from benign to malignant; majority of the latter are low-grade. We present the case of a 12-year-old pre-pubertal female with poorly differentiated SLCT and heterologous rhabdomyosarcoma (FIGO stage-IA).
A gravida 2, para 2 25-year-old woman three months post-partum presented to her primary physician with abdominal pain and bloating; a 20-cm complex cystic pelvic mass was identified by ultrasound. No ovarian masses were noted during ultrasound exam at the prior pregnancy, less than one year earlier.
BACKGROUND
Ovarian tumors in the pediatric age group are not infrequent. Germ-cell tumors are the commonest ovarian neoplasm in the first two decades of life. Sex cord-stromal tumors are the most common ovarian tumors to cause precocious puberty in girls.
METHODS
This retrospective study included
Sertoli Leydig cell tumor of the ovary, is a rare neoplasm from the group of sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary, accounting for less than 1% of all ovarian tumors. Among the Sertoli Leydig cell tumors, we distinguish a separate group of tumors secreting α-fetoprotein (AFP). The young 24-year-old
BACKGROUND
Ovarian tumors have generally been considered rare in the pediatric age group. We reported our experience dealing with pediatric ovarian tumors during an 8-year period.
METHODS
Between January 1998 and December 2006, 37 girls with ovarian tumors were treated at the Department of Pediatric
Background

Rationale: DICER1 syndrome is an autosomal-dominant tumor predisposition syndrome associated with numerous cancerous and noncancerous conditions. The most common sex cord-stromal tumor associated with DICER1 syndrome is Sertoli-Leydig
