Abstract :
Arrhenoblastoma or Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is a rare androgen secreting ovarian tumor of unknown pathogenesis, has been reported to co-exist with other neoplasms of the female genital tract. Mostly benign, the tumor originates from the ovarian stromal sex cords, its tissue structure being similar to the Sertoli and Leydig testicular cells. Followed in detail, around one-fifth of these ovarian tumors are found to be malignant. We describe a case of slow growing Sertoli- Leydig cell tumor presenting with androgenic alopecia and virilization, associated with cervical carcinoma in-situ
