Contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings of ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor: a case report with ultrasonographic-pathological insights.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors (SLCTs) are exceedingly rare sex cord-stromal tumors with non-specific clinical features and limited diagnostic imaging. We evaluated the ultrasonographic-pathological correlation of ovarian SLCT and explored the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) through a case analysis of a 62-year-old woman with a SLCT.

Case presentation

A 62-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with abdominal distension. Serum testosterone was elevated (4.43 nmol/L; normal range 0.45-1.26nmol/L). Ultrasound revealed a large multilocular cystic lesion with solid components in the pelvic-abdominal region, marked by abundant blood flow within the septa and solid areas, along with low-resistance arterial flow in the solid component of the tu
