Composite mucinous ovarian neoplasms associated with sertoli-leydig and carcinoid tumors

Abstract

The authors describe two mucinous ovarian tumors that were hormonally active due to Sertoli-Leydig elements within the septal stroma. Carcinoid was also present in each case. The mesenchymal stromal cells within the septa of the mucinous tumors have undergone neoplastic proliferation with the Sertoli and Leydig differentiations, leading to the formation of arrhenoblastoma. The carcinoid component of these tumors is thought to have originated from argentaffin cells of the "intestinal" mucinous epithelium.

Composite Mucinous and Granulosa‐Theca‐Cell Tumour of the Ovary: An Unusual Neoplasm

“…The coexistence of carcinoid, germ cell tumours such as mature cystic teratomas and other epithelial neoplasms such as Brenner, with mucinous tumours of the ovary is well known (1,2). However, mucinous elements are seen only rarely in association with tumours of sex cord-stromal origin and the components have been of moderately to poorly differentiated Sertoli-Leydig type (3,4). We report here an unusual case of a mixed epithelialsex cord-stromal tumour with mucinous and granulosa-theca-cell components.…”
