Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary A rare type of ovarian tumor in which the tumor cells secrete a male sex hormone. This may cause virilization (the appearance of male physical characteristics in females).
The majority of Leydig cell tumors are found in men, usually at 5-10 years of age or in middle adulthood (30-60 years). Children typically present with precocious puberty.
