title: Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with retiform pattern.
abstract: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) are sex cord-stromal tumors which exhibit testicular differentiation.1 They account for less than 0.2% of ovarian neoplasms in total but comprise 4% of ovarian tumors in females under 20 yrs of age.2 The morphological appearance of these tumors varies more widely than that of any other ovarian tumor except for the teratomas. Histologically they are now classified into 5 categories: well-differentiated, intermediately differentiated, poorly differentiated, heterologous and retiform.1 We describe the case of an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with retiform pattern in a 7 yr old girl.
