“…The most common gross appearance in virilizing granulosa cell tumor was a solid mass in approximately 14 patients (3,4,12,13–18,21–23) , a cystic mass in 10 patients (9,11,17,19,20) , a mixed solid/cystic mass in 4 patients (4,8,17,24) , and a multiloculated cyst in 2 patients (6,7) . The tumor in our case was also a thin‐walled, multilocular cyst.…”

“…Granulosa cell tumors are usually associated with manifestation of hyperestrogenism and are rarely associated with virilization. Considering all age groups, less than 35 cases of virilizing adult‐type granulosa cell tumors have been reported in the literature (3–24) . So far, only two such cases have been reported in patients under 15 years of age (20,23) .…”

The clinicopathologic findings of the third case of androgenic adult granulosa cell tumor in patients younger than 15 years was presented and discussed in the light of the literature. A patient complaining of secondary amenorrhea and hirsutism with elevated levels of plasma total testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, free androgen index and serum inhibin A, and a left ovarian septated, cystic mass was admitted to the hospital. The inhibin A level was within normal levels in the first month postoperatively. Inhibin A could be a tumor marker of utmost importance particularly in patients with androgenic or hyperestrogenic symptoms, especially in cases where benign criteria are abundant such as young age, nonincreased levels of classic tumor markers, and ultrasonographic appearance without any suspicion of malignancy.

Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare, most of them being endocrinologically active and causing virilization. Their histogenesis and nomenclature are still under discussion. Six such tumors were identified in the Laboratory for Histopathology of the University Women's Hospital, Zürich. The clinical data as well as the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural features of these tumors are analysed and discussed. In an attempt to clarify their histogenesis, the ultrastructural features of these tumors have been compared with those of two granulosa cell tumors as well as with those of a testis in a patient with testicular feminization. Our own results and a study of published data suggest that Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors arise from ovarian stroma. Because of their obvious morphological similarities to testicular structures they should be termed "gonadal stromal tumors of android type".
