Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor belongs to the group of sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary. These neoplasms account for less than 0.5% of all ovarian tumors and are more often encountered in young women between the ages of 20 and 30 years who usually become virilized. We described an unusual case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in a postmenopausal women who presented with a solid right pelvic mass, a large amount of ascites, and laboratory tests revealing an elevated CA125, all suggesting a pelvic malignancy. Although five similar cases of postmenopausal women with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of ovary have been reported in the literature, we believe that this is an useful addition to the literature. 相似文献

A 60-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with evidence of hirsutism, alopecia and mild virilization. Clinical examination and biochemical abnormalities suggested that the source of androgen excess was ovarian, and an ovarian tumor was confirmed and removed at laparotomy followed by normal endocrine profile in the postoperative period. 相似文献

The authors report a case of Leydig cell tumor in a 46-year-old woman who first presented with severe clinical hyperandrogenism and associated complex medical history. Investigations revealed markedly raised serum concentrations of testosterone (28.3 nmol/l) and free androgen index (54.4), whereas sex hormone binding globulin, random cortisol, androstenedione, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate concentrations were all within the normal range. Transabdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan of the pelvis and abdomen showed a slightly bulky right ovary, but no other abnormalities. An ovarian source of androgens was suspected and surgery was arranged. Following a three-year history of defaulting appointments due to agoraphobia, she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and intraoperative selective ovarian venous sampling. Histopathological examination revealed a 2 cm Leydig cell tumor within the right ovary. Successful intraoperative ovarian venous sampling demonstrated significantly elevated testosterone levels (>260 nmol/l) from the right ovarian vein. Hyperandrogenaemia normalized post-operatively. The patient showed significant regression of clinical signs and symptoms, including the anxiety disorder. Clinical presentation, biochemistry and imaging modalities should allow to detect androgen-secreting ovarian tumors, while selective venous sampling should be reserved for patients whom uncertainty remains. The present case confirms that androgen-secreting ovarian tumors represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They have to be considered in the differential diagnosis of severe hyperandrogenism even in peri-menopausal women. Although selective venous sampling is of diagnostic value, however, its impact on future management should be considered on individual basis. 相似文献

A report is given on the rare case of a hormonactive Leydig cell-tumor in a 52-year-old patient. In spite of virilization symptoms of many years' standing, it was only because of multiple troubles with a great uterus myomatosus that she was admitted to the hospital. An ovarian tumor existing at the same time, turned out to be histologically a mere hilus cell-tumor with a strong nucleus polymorphy. In consideration of the danger of a malignant degeneration (borderline case), the patient was included in our tumor follow-up control programme. 相似文献

Severe postmenopausal virilization is a rare event in clinical practice. To evaluate ovarian or adrenal hyperandrogenism endocrine tests and imaging are useful diagnostic tools. We report a case of a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia. A malignant cause for the present disorder could be excluded by imaging. Selective venous sampling was administered with increased testosterone level of the right adrenal vein. Right adrenalectomy and right oophorctomy was recommended. 相似文献

A 49-year-old woman presented with rapidly progressing hirsutism, receding hairline, male-pattern baldness and deepening of voice, which had developed over the past 2 years. Hormonal evaluation showed a markedly elevated serum testosterone level (418 ng/dl) and no evidence of increased production of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, androstenedione, or 17-hydroxyprogesterone. Transvaginal ultrasound examination suggested the presence of a small mass within the left ovary, but all other radiological studies, including adrenal and ovarian computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radio-labelled cholesterol scintigraphy and positron emission tomography, were negative. Subsequently, bilateral selective venous sampling showed a marked testosterone gradient in the right ovarian vein. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed (the patient had had a previous vaginal hysterectomy), and histopathological examination revealed a 10-mm steroid cell tumor within the right ovary and a 15-mm thecal cell tumor within the left ovary. The postoperative serum testosterone level returned to normal and the patient showed a slow regression of clinical symptoms. The simultaneous occurrence of a virilizing ovarian steroid cell tumor and an apparently non-functioning thecoma within the contralateral ovary emphasizes the potential pitfalls that may exist in the preoperative evaluation of patients with markedly increased testosterone production. 相似文献

A case of a 17-year-old patient diagnosed with bilateral androblastoma of the ovary is presented. The patient was admitted because of secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism and acne. After clinical, ultrasonographic and hormonal examinations an androgen-producing ovarian tumor was suspected and consequently laparotomy with right ovarian tumor excision and left ovary exploration was carried out. During surgery the right ovarian tumor was excised and exploration of the left ovary revealed an ovarian tumor with a diameter of 10 mm, which was then also excised. The pathologic diagnosis was a bilateral androblastoma of the ovary measuring 40 mm x 30 mm x 20 mm in the right ovary and 10 mm in diameter in the left ovary. We concluded that androblastomas, in spite of their low incidence, are a possibility that should always be considered in women of all ages presenting with signs of virilization. 相似文献

We report the first case of immature ovarian teratoma occurring after menopause in a 57-year-old, 3 years postmenopausal woman. Within one year after resection of the teratoma she developed peritoneal botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma, which probably originated from initially unrecognized rhabdomyoblasts in the teratoma. The patient died 6 months later from progressive disease after a transient adriamycin-induced tumor response. The literature on ovarian immature teratoma and ovarian rhabdomyosarcoma is briefly reviewed, and the available treatment is discussed. 相似文献

Steroid cell tumors are rare ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors with malignant potential. The majority of these tumors produce
steroids with testosterone being the most common. The diagnosis of these rare tumors can be problematic especially in the
case of a small nonpalpable ovarian tumor. A 41-year-old woman presented with the gradual onset of defeminization, mild hypothyroidism,
and virilization. A physical examination revealed a relatively healthy woman with borderline hirsutism, clitoromegaly and
adnexal fullness without a palpable tumor. Elevated serum levels of TSH and testosterone were found preoperatively. Five weeks
after an oophorectomy, serum levels of TSH and testosterone returned to normal and menstruation returned. Nonpalpable virilizing
ovarian steroid cell tumors may be difficult to diagnose. A careful study of the patient’s history, the development of defeminization
followed by virilization, and a “characteristic” ultrasonogram, can be helpful for diagnosis. Hormonal studies including thyroid
function should also be considered in an ovarian steroid cell tumor. 相似文献

Presented is the case of a virilized woman with a lipoid cell tumor of the ovary localized by computerized tomography. The major secretory products of the tumor were testosterone and estradiol; the production of androgens was responsible for the clinical features and hindered the effects of estrogens. Elevated levels of estradiol indicated important ovarian aromatase activity as reflected by large ovarian-peripheral venous gradients. 相似文献

Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia in an ovarian steroid cell tumor with virilization: a case report 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Extramedullary hematopoiesis in patients without hematologic disorders is very rare and has apparently never been described previously in association with an ovarian steroid cell tumor. CASE: An 18-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic due to primary amenorrhea. the On examination she had significant facial hirsutism, clitoromegaly and and Adam's apple. The serum level of testosterone was elevated. A 7-cm, right ovarian mass was enucleated during laparotomy. Histology revealed a steroid cell tumor with foci of myeloid metaplasia; bony trabecula formation was present. There was no evidence of hematologic or systemic disease. The hormone values became normal 1 month postoperatively. CONCLUSION: This report describes a patient with agnogenic myeloid metaplasia in an ovarian steroid cell tumor with virilization; this association was not previously reported. 相似文献

A 51-year-old woman presented with hirsutism and virilization of gradual onset. The serum gonadotropin concentrations were in the postmenopausal range, the serum testosterone concentration was markedly elevated (9.8 nmol/l) and the serum estradiol concentration (220 pmol/l) was elevated above the postmenopausal range. A selective venous catheterization study demonstrated raised serum testosterone and androstenedione levels in ovarian veins and suggested the presence of a left ovarian tumor. The raised peripheral estradiol level was shown to be due to ovarian hypersecretion. After bilateral oophorectomy the serum testosterone became normal. Ovarian histology revealed bilateral stromal hyperthecosis. Ovarian hyperthecosis is a rare but important cause of serum testosterone levels in the neoplastic range. This is the third case reported of postmenopausal virilization due to ovarian hyperthecosis and the first report of a selective venous catheterization study in such a patient. 相似文献

Ovarian endodermal sinus tumor in a postmenopausal woman 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: Ovarian endodermal sinus tumor is rare in postmenopausal women. CASE: We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a pure endodermal sinus tumor of the ovary. CONCLUSION: We believe this to be the oldest patient reported with an ovarian endodermal sinus tumor. The histogenesis of this entity in older patients may be different than when it occurs in young women. 相似文献
