Sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary in children - abstract (sertoli-leydig most aggressive cell type)

CONCLUSIONS: Completeness of resection and histology were important prognostic factors; in our series the Sertoli-Leydig Cell tumor was the most aggressive variety. Hormonal signs (precocious puberty, telarca, menarche) were common in younger patients and led to an early diagnosis. Cisplatin based chemotherapy seemed to be effective for locally advanced tumors.
