Özet

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare sex cord-stromal neoplasms that account for <0.2% of ovarian tumors. These tumors with a retiform pattern pose difficult diagnostic problems, with the majority of being misinterpreted as serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma and endodermal sinus tumor. We report an 8-year-old female patient presented to our institution with a huge mass and pain in the lower abdomen and recurrence in the 10th months following the first operation. Only four cases of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors have been reported under age of the eight years in the literature so far. It is difficult to define the stage and the morphology of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors with retiform pattern in children and chemotherapy or radiotherapy administration is contraversial. However, fertility sparing surgeries should be considered as a first treatment choice on the time of the diagnosis and the recurrence.
