An ovarian stromal tumor with luteinized cells: an unusual recurrence of an unusual tumor

Abstract: Sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs) of the ovary are uncommon. Their behavior is unpredictable, often with late recurrence, making counseling, management, and prediction of prognosis challenging. A 65-year-old woman presenting with a SCST underwent a bilateral oophorectomy, the histology was unusual but likely to be a luteinized thecoma with suspicious features for invasion. Two years later following a gastrointestinal bleed, a metastasis within the small bowel mucosa was detected. This represents probable isolate… Show more

“…They constitute nearly 5–7% of all ovarian lesions and include granulosa stromal tumors, fibroma-thecoma, Sertoli-stromal cell tumors and steroid cell tumors [1, 2]. Granulosa cell tumors are particularly rare, accounting for 2–3% of all ovarian malignancies [2].…”

“…Current GOG recommendations state that for stage 2–4 disease, adjuvant chemotherapy can be implemented. An optimal adjuvant chemotherapeutic regiment has not yet been developed, with treatments by the BEP regimen and the carboplatin and paclitaxel regimen yielding equivocal results [8]. In the present case, given that our patient had multiple comorbidities and that both the frozen and permanent specimens did not demonstrate any obvious signs of malignancy, we elected to pursue a laparoscopic oophorectomy and contralateral ovarian biopsy, without staging and adjuvant chemotherapy.…”

“…If future fertility is not an issue, hysterectomy, removal of the contralateral ovary, and complete surgical staging are recommended. Although most steroid cell, NOS, tumors behave in a benign fashion, malignancy has been reported in as high as 43% of cases [8]. In their work, Scully et al described a case series of 63 steroid cell, NOS, tumors with 28.6 of them being malignant.…”
