Abstract
The occurrence of primary sex cord-stromal tumors at extraovarian sites is exceedingly rare. We report a new case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in the mesentery of a 78-year-old woman who presented with occlusive syndrome and reviewed the previously reported cases of extraovarian sex cord-stromal tumors in the English literature.
Highlights
The occurrence of primary sex cord-stromal tumors at extraovarian sites is extremely rare [1]. These tumors are predominantly granulosa cell tumors [1]. This is the first case of primary mesenteric Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor
Leydig cells are found at the periphery of the cellular lobules (Figure 3)
This is the first case of a primary mesenteric Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor
