title: Androgen-producing ovarian tumors: a clinicopathological study of 3 cases.
abstract: The clinical course and pathological findings of 3 rare cases of androgen-producing ovarian tumors are presented. The ages of the 3 patients (Cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively) were 43, 34, and 57 years, respectively. Their preoperative serum testosterone levels were 506, 491, and 231 ng/dl, respectively. The pathological diagnoses of Cases 1, 2, and 3 were a Sertoli-stromal cell tumor of intermediate differentiation, a stromal tumor containing Leydig cells, and a stromal tumor with minor sex cord elements, respectively. Patient 1 experienced a recurrence, of a lesion at the vaginal stump 1 year and 2 months after the initial surgery. The clinical courses of Cases 2 and 3 have been non-contributory.
