    Author: Böhm J, Röder-Weber M, Höfler H, Kolben M.
    Journal: Pathol Res Pract; 1991 Mar; 187(2-3):348-52; discussion 352-3. PubMed ID: 2068019.
    Abstract:
    The stromal Leydig cell tumour of the ovary is a very rare benign neoplasm which usually occurs in postmenopausal women. Due to a significant production of androgens by the tumour, it is frequently associated with symptoms of virilization. To our knowledge only 7 cases have been reported in the literature, one of them with bilateral manifestation. We report an additional case affecting both ovaries in a 59-year-old nun with long-standing virilism, review the literature, and discuss the histomorphological features for differential diagnosis.
