ステロイド［脂質］細胞腫ようの１例

Abstract

We report cytologic findings on a steroid lipid cell tumor of the ovary in a 45-year-old woman suffering from masculinization, including amenorrhea since the age of 41, hoarseness and hirsutism. Computed tomography revealed a right ovarian tumor. Serum androgenic hormones elevated before surgery returned to the normal range 10 days after the tumor was resected. An implint cytology specimen was composed of 2 types of tumor cell-those with abundant pale cytoplasm with occasional vacuoles and those with less cytoplasm stained well with light green reflecting the histological pattern of the tumor.
