Abstract

Ovarian steroid cell tumors are rare, life-threatening neoplasms that make about 0.1% of all primary ovarian tumors. They frequently present in premenopausal women with the manifestation of virilization. We report a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman that referred to our clinic with clinical manifestation of virilization. Laboratory findings showed markedly elevated serum testosterone level and ultrasound showed 2 follicles with 7 mm diameters in the left ovary. She treated by bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and synchronous hysterectomy. Histological pathology confirmed a benign steroid cell tumor. The presentation of new-onset and rapid progressive hyperandrogenism is rare in postmenopausal women. In diagnosis, we must consider adrenal and ovarian malignancies. Stromal luteoma is a rare benign ovarian tumor, Which is treated with surgical treatment. © 2019, Medical Sciences University of Teheran. All rights reserved.
