8661 A case of post-menopausal female with virilization due to Sertoli-Leydig cell ovarian tumor recurring in contralateral ovary 8 years later

Abstract Disclosure: M.S. Maharaul: None. J.L. Miller: None. Introduction: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) are rare androgen-secreting tumors of the ovaries, accounting for less than 0.5% of all ovarian tumors. Their incidence peaks in the second to third decade of life. New onset of severe hyperandrogenism with virilization in postmenopausal women is exceedingly rare, and the three most frequent causes are ovarian tumors, ovarian hyperthecosis and adrenal androgen producing tumors. We report one such case of ovarian androgen producing tumor which was further complicated by recurrence in the contralateral ovary. Case: A 66-year-old woman presented for evaluation of hyperandrogenism. Physical examination revealed evidence of virilization and clitoromegaly. Laboratory workup was remarkable for total serum testosterone level of 367 ng/dL with normal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and cortisol levels. A computerized scan of abdomen did not show any adrenal masses. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed uterine myomas but did not show any ovarian pathology. She underwent selective vein catheterization of her adrenal glands as well as ovaries and was noted to have right ovary secreting 3,982 ng/dL of testosterone whereas all other samples had total testosterone levels < 200 ng/dL. She underwent right salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathologic examination revealed a 2.2 cm well differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor confined to the ovary; the fallopian tube was negative for tumor. Six weeks later, her serum total testosterone level was 18 ng/dL. 8 years later, she returns with recurrent symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Repeat workup revealed a total testosterone level of 662 ng/dL. A computerized scan of abdomen and transvaginal ultrasound revealed an unremarkable uterus and left ovary. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis was done that showed a 1.2 cm enhancing mass in the left ovary. She then underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy and supracervical hysterectomy. Histopathologic examination revealed a 1.5 cm Sertoli-Leydig-cell tumor of the left ovary, the fallopian tube was negative for tumor. Six weeks later, her serum total testosterone level was 24 ng/dL and she felt significant improvement in her symptoms. Conclusion: We present an interesting case of virilization in a post-menopausal female due to Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor that resolved after unilateral oophorectomy but recurred 8 years later in the contralateral ovary with resolution after completion oophorectomy.
