Abstract
Sertoli and Leydig cell tumours are rare secretory tumours of the mesenchyme and sex cords. Diagnostic certainty is histological after surgery and there is no specific ultrasound sign despite the strong clinical presumption. The prognosis depends on the degree of cellular differentiation and the presence of heterologous elements. We report on the occurrence of a sertoli-leydig tumour in a 50-year-old postmenopausal woman. Poorly differentiated forms of Sertoli-Leydig tumours have a significant malignant potential. Treatment is surgical, with chemotherapy providing an interesting adjuvant. The prognosis after surgery is dominated by recurrence.
