Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor (Not Otherwise Specified)‎: A Case Report of Ovarian Hyperandrogenism

Abstract EN

Steroid cell tumors (SCTs) (not otherwise specified (NOS)) are rare sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary.

These are associated with hormonal disturbances resulting in menstrual bleeding patterns and androgenic effects.

We report the case of a 36-year-old female presented with hirsutism, signs of virilization, and elevated androgen levels.

Transvaginal ultrasound showed a solid-appearing right ovarian mass.

She underwent fertility-sparing surgery with a laparoscopic left oophorectomy.

Histological examination showed a benign steroid cell tumor, NOS.

These tumors often small can then present a problem of positive diagnosis responsible for a delay in the diagnosis.
