Characteristics and outcomes analysis of ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs): analysis of 15 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Because of limited information of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs), the objective aimed to describe clinical parameters, management and treatment results of SLCTs.

Material and methods

We retrospectively reviewed 15 cases with SLCTs, who were treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between 2009 and 2020. Data of clinical parameters and treatment was studied.

Results

The age ranged 25-69 years. Elevated testosterone was observed in 4 patients. FIGO-stage: 14 were at Ia(10 moderately differentiated, 3 poorly differentiated, 5 retiform pattern).1 was at Ic. Patients with retiform pattern were more likely to exhibit endocrine function (p = 0.019, w = 0.61) and tumor diameter was significantly bigger in no endocrine function (p = 0.012, d =
