Ovarian sex cord tumours with annular tubules.
Five cases of ovarian sex cord tumours with annular tubules are presented. The ages of the patients ranged from 8 to 45 years and the size of the tumours varied from 1 to over 18 cm in diameter. All patients presented with evidence of hormonal disturbance and two appeared to have excess gonadotrophin production. The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was not described in any patient. The possible origin of the tumour is discussed.
