[An ovarian sex cord tumor with annular tubules secreting prolactin. Reality or fortunate coincidence?].
In a 13-year old girl, an ovarian tumor was suspected of being responsible for causing amenorrhea-galatorrhea. In the absence of any abnormality of the medial umbilical folds, hormonal assessment indicated a high level of prolactin, which was restored to normal after exeresis of the mass. This was an ovarian tumor of the sexual cords with annelated tubules (SCTAT de Scully).
