    Abstract:
    A rare case of ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor with heterologous mucinous glands and tiny carcinoid-like foci in a 33-year-old female is reported. In addition to these heterologous elements, peculiar cells, which were oval, eosinophilic and neuron-specific enolase (NSE)-positive, were also observed and had not been described previously. These NSE-immuno-reactive cells were different from argentaffin cells observed in mucinous glands and carcinoid-like foci, and seemed to play a significant role in the appearance of the heterologous mucinous gland. The nature of this peculiar NSE-immunoreactive cell is discussed.
