title: Fine needle aspiration cytology of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors of ovary masquerading as dysgerminoma.
abstract: Herein, we described a case of a 29-year-old female with a large ovarian mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the mass showed discrete round to oval cells in a fatty vacuolated background. FNAC diagnosis of dysgerminoma was suggested. The histology of the tumors showed features of poorly differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors. We discussed the diagnostic pitfalls of this case on FNAC.
