Tumor ovárico no epitelial: tumor de Sertoli-Leydig

Abstract

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are a rare type of non-epithelial ovarian cancer; these tumors belong to the group of sex cord-stromal tumors and account for approximately 2-5% of all malignant ovarian tumors.

We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who underwent surgery for a Sertoli tumor with sarcomatoid foci. Diagnosis of these tumors is difficult before surgery and, due to the scarcity of publications on the topic, there is controversy about the appropriate surgical staging and the role of adjuvant therapy in the management of this entity.
