Abstract

Sex Cord Stromal Tumors are rare ovarian tumors, including Steroid Cell tumors, NOS, almost all benign, associated with hirsutism and virilization, with elevated serum testosterone levels, commonly unilateral and with small diameter compared to others. A 43-year-old woman was referred to our center with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, balding and clitoromegaly, high serum level of testosterone and free testosterone. Ultrasound examination showed a unilateral small solid rounded hypoechoic lesion, with regular margins, moderately to richly vascularized at power Doppler examination (CS 3/4). A laparoscopic right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Final pathology diagnosed a steroid cell tumor, NOS.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography. The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents. JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
