Abstract Background Ovarian steroid cell tumors represent a rare category of sex cord-stromal tumors that constitute less than 0.1% of all ovarian tumors. These neoplasms are classified into three main subtypes according to the cell of origin: Leidyg cell tumors, stromal luteomas, and steroid cell tumors not otherwise specified (SCTs-NOS). The latter subtype is defined as a neoplasm of an uncertain lineage that mostly affects middle-aged women, whereas it’s rare in younger ages. Case presentation We report a case of a 21-year-old virgin female who presented to our hospital with complaints of mild abdominal pain, hirsutism, and oligomenorrhea for more than a year. Before her current admission, the patient had attended an external gynecologic clinic where she had been prescribed oral contraceptives to regulate her periods. Nevertheless, on presentation to our institution, physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness with a palpable pelvic mass and mild hirsutism in the thigh. Ultrasonography demonstrated a large left ovarian mass measuring 154 × 104 mm, and compressing the uterus. Therefore, a unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, and interestingly, pathologic examination of the large aforementioned mass alongside with immunohistochemical correlation revealed the diagnosis of a large ovarian steroid cell tumor-not otherwise specified with a unique combination of benign and malignant features. Conclusions Although ovarian steroid cell tumors represent a rare category, they must be considered in the differential diagnosis for mild virilization symptoms in young females due to the importance of early diagnosis and management. In this manuscript, we aimed to present the first case report from Syria that highlights the crucial role of detailed morphological examination for challenging cases despite the difficulties in differential diagnosis, and the absence of ancillary techniques. Furthermore, we managed to discuss a brief review of diagnostic methods, histological characteristics, and treatment recommendations.

Steroid cell tumour of the ovary is an extremely rare tumour. They are classified into three types with the commonest, the steroid cell tumour not otherwise specified (NOS) consisting approximately 60% of them. They occur mostly in middle age, are mostly benign and mostly cause virilising symptoms though a small proportion can present with oestrogenic effects. Diagnosis is based on presence of symptoms, presence of specific histopathological features with absence of certain histopathological features and positive specific immunostaining results. Here the author reports a case of a 42-year old woman with abdominal mass but without virilising symptoms but on whom a diagnosis of ovarian steroid cell tumour was reached by histopathological analysis which revealed presence of specific histopathological features with absence of certain histopathological features.

Ovarian Tumours

Virilising ovarian tumours account for less than 5% of all ovarian tumours. A steroid cell tumour (SCTs) of the ovary comes under the sex cord stromal tumours and accounts for only 0.1% of all ovarian tumours. Almost 75% are functioning tumors with production of androgenic hormones causing virilisation and cushingoid features. They are usually unilateral, benign with only 25-45% malignant cases. Here authors report the incidence of steroid cell tumour in our institution and discuss about a 37-year-old woman with steroid cell tumour, not otherwise specified who presented with oligomenorrhea followed by amenorrhea, secondary infertility and signs of virilisation.
