ABSTRACT: Background
Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors (OSCST) include juvenile granulosa cell tumors (JGCT), Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT) and gynandroblastoma (GAB) among others. These ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors as well as other tumors including pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) may be associated with DICER1 mutations. We sought to describe the clinical and genetic findings from the first 107 individuals enrolled in the International Ovarian and Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry.Methods
Medical and family history were obtained for individuals consecutively enrolled in the International Ovarian and Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry. Pathology was centrally reviewed. DICER1 sequencing was performed on blood and tumor tissue.Results
Of the 107 participants, 49 had SLCT, 25
