[Leydig cell tumor with pronounced virilization].

W Lotze, S Bergander

    Zentralblatt Fur Gynakologie
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This report details a rare hormonally active Leydig cell tumor in a 52-year-old woman presenting with virilization and uterine fibroids. The co-existing ovarian tumor was identified as a hilus cell tumor, prompting inclusion in a tumor surveillance program due to malignant potential.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Leydig cell tumors are rare, often hormonally active neoplasms, typically occurring in the testes.
    • Hilus cell tumors are rare ovarian stromal tumors, sometimes associated with androgen production.

    Observation:

    • A 52-year-old female patient presented with long-standing virilization symptoms and uterine myomas.
    • An incidentally discovered ovarian tumor was histologically diagnosed as a hilus cell tumor with significant nuclear polymorphism.

    Findings:

    • The patient had a rare hormonally active Leydig cell tumor.
    • The co-existing ovarian tumor was a hilus cell tumor, considered a borderline case due to malignant potential.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare endocrine tumors in patients with ambiguous symptoms.
    • Close monitoring is crucial for borderline tumors due to the risk of malignant transformation.
    • Multidisciplinary management is essential for complex gynecologic and endocrine presentations.
