Steroid Cell Tumour of Ovary - A Rare Case Report.

Steroid cell tumours of the ovary are uncommon sex- hormone secreting tumours characterized by a steroid cell proliferation. The incidence of steroid cell tumour of the ovary is only 0.1% of all ovarian tumours. As far as steroid cell tumours, not otherwise specified (NOS) is concerned; it constitutes about 56% of all steroid cell tumours. Here we present a case of 55-year-old, postmenopausal patient who presented with complaints of bleeding per vaginum and abdominal pain for last 3-4 months, with history of excessive hair growth since 3-4 years. Ultrasonography revealed a solid right ovarian mass with a possibility of ovarian sex cord tumour. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of steroid cell tumour NOS type with no cytological atypia.
