    This case report details an androblastoma in the right ovary, which caused temporary virilization symptoms. Symptoms resolved post-surgery, and the patient had a successful subsequent pregnancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Reproductive Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Androblastoma (Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor) is a rare ovarian neoplasm.
    • These tumors can exhibit hormone production, leading to virilization.

    Observation:

    • A case of right ovarian androblastoma is presented, occurring four years after the patient's first childbirth.
    • Virilization symptoms developed alongside the tumor and rapidly subsided after surgical removal.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced a second successful pregnancy less than four years after tumor extirpation.
    • No recurrence or persistent symptoms were noted during a 2.5-year follow-up period.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for successful pregnancy after androblastoma treatment.
