Case Report of Unusual Stromal Luteinization in High-Grade Papillary Serous Carcinoma of the Ovary
Journal Title: Gynecology and Obstetrics Research – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Stromal luteinization has been reported to be associated with benign and malignant epithelial ovarian tumors, predominantly mucinous and often endometrioid ovarian neoplasm. We report here an unusual case of marked ovarian stromal luteinization in a 67-year old postmenopausal female with a high-grade serous papillary carcinoma of the ovary. Stromal luteinization was so prominent that the tumor mimicked a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary.
