Abstract
Clinical Manifestation, Diagnosis and Histology of Ovarian Luteoma: Case Report of Female Virilisation and Review of the Literature Stromal luteoma has recently been called and classified in the steroid cell tumor subgroup by the World Health Organisation (WHO). It is a rare benign ovarian tumor, originated in the ovarian stromal-sex cords, and it has endocrine repercussion.
