A Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT) is an extremely rare type of sex cord stromal tumor of the
ovary, which mainly secretes testosterone, thus manifestations of hyperandrogenism commonly
appear. This paper shall discuss a case of a postmenopausal woman who presented with pelvic
organ prolapse, large left ovarian cyst and mild signs of hyperandrogenism. She underwent
total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which on microscopic
examination of the specimens, revealed a Mature cystic teratoma on the left ovary and an
incidental finding of a well-differentiated SLCT, on the grossly normal-looking ovary. This
histopathologic diagnosis of SLCT explained the patient’s hyperandrogenic characteristics.
Authors likewise discussed the proper management of SLCT, including immunostaining and
need for adjuvant chemotherapy.
