At the transvaginal ultrasound, a cystic mass of 28x28mm was seen in the right ovary. Then we performed a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The final pathology showed a poorly differentiated Sertoli Leydig cell tumor at the right ovary and hilus cell hyperplasia at the left ovary. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, which are relatively less common, are extremely rare to be seen in the postmenopausal period.</p> <p>Conclusion; What distinguishes this case from others is that Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and hilus cell hyperplasia may cause virilization symptoms together, in addition to its prevalence in advanced age.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Aegean Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology}, author={Ertan, Begum and Ozgozen, Eyüphan and Ilgen, Orkun and Bulbul, Göksenil and Saatli, Bahadır and Ulukus, Cagnur}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={83–86} }
