title: Ovarian steroid cell tumors, not otherwise specified: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Steroid cell tumors, not otherwise specified, are rare ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors with malignant potential. The majority of these tumors produce steroids with testosterone being the most common. A case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with sudden onset of virilization and a pelvic mass is reported. Various aspects of the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of these tumors are discussed.
