Abstract
Leydig cell tumor originates from the hilum of the ovary, but a small number of them can be found in the ovarian cortical stroma with the latest known as non-hilar type. We report a case of a 45-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with a history of virilization, polymenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, dysfunctional uterine bleeding of 6 month duration. On ultrasonography abdomen-pelvis showed bulky uterus with intramural fibroids along with a right ovary measured 2.8 x 2 x 1 cm showed nonspecific well-defined, solid mass with tiny cyst. She underwent an exploratory laparatomy, total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The gross and microscopic evaluation diagnosed as non-hilar Leydig cell tumor of right ovary. We report a rare case of a Leydig cell tumor - non- hilar type of right ovary for its clinical, radio imaging and histomorphological features.
