Malignant Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary is a rare type of ovarian cancer that affects the cells that produce hormones in the ovary. It is a type of sex cord-stromal tumor, which means it develops from the cells that make up the ovary's structure. Symptoms of this type of cancer can include abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular menstrual periods. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

- Pelvic pain
- Abdominal swelling
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Abnormal menstrual cycles
- High levels of male hormones (androgens) in the blood

The exact cause of Malignant Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary is unknown. However, some research suggests that it may be related to genetic mutations or hormonal imbalances. Additionally, certain environmental factors, such as exposure to certain chemicals, may increase the risk of developing this type of tumor.

The treatment for malignant Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary typically involves surgery to remove the tumor and any affected tissue. Depending on the size and stage of the tumor, additional treatments may be recommended, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be used.

1. Early menarche
