Case report: an identical twin with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor.
Gynecological Endocrinology 2018 July
Our report details the workup and management of a 43-year-old woman with an identical twin who presented with 2 years of virilization and secondary amenorrhea. Serum total testosterone was elevated. An MRI did not identify adnexal or adrenal pathology. Subsequent ovarian vein sampling demonstrated unilateral testosterone elevation. The patient underwent laparoscopic unilateral oophorectomy resulting in the diagnosis of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT). Although SLCT is a rare sex-cord ovarian tumor, it is associated with endometrial hyperplasia and malignancy. Our goals are to review the workup of androgen-secreting tumors and discuss the clinical importance of the DICER1 mutation in the context of SLCT. In this case, an identical twin underwent DICER1 testing which was one of the essential steps in her clinical management.
