Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary--morphological and immunohistochemical analysis.
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is a rare and usually unilateral tumor of the ovary occurring in women's reproductive age. Only about 10% of these patients are over 50 years of age. One third of these patients are suffering from signs of virilisation. This work summarizes the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of this tumor in a 56-year old woman with clinical signs of virilisation.
