title: Malignant gonadal stromal tumor: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Of the 80 cases of gonadal stromal tumor reported in the literature 10 were malignant. We herein report another malignant case. The role of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in malignant gonadal stromal tumor has not been defined. While the only sue evidence of malignancy is metastatic disease we recommend that if macroscopic and microscopic examination of the primary tumor suggests malignancy a retroperitoneal node dissection should be performed.
