Adenomyosis and multiple leiomyomata were found along with an incidental 2.5mm, paratubal steroid cell tumour. Given the size of the tumour and the histopathological features this was considered benign.<\/jats:p>\n Case 2: A 69-year-old female patient presented with virilization, found to have a left ovarian steroid cell tumour. Since there was capsular infiltration, close follow up was advised.<\/jats:p>\n Case 3: A 35-year-old female patient presenting with an acute abdomen due to torsion of a 15 cm right ovarian mass. The mass showed immunomorphological features of a steroid cell tumour. Since this tumour was large and had features of necrosis, high mitotic activity and nuclear pleomorphism, it was regarded as malignant.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n Steroid cell tumours of the ovary are rare (<0.1 % of all ovarian neoplasms) with uncertain malignant behaviour and are difficult to diagnose especially if classical virilising symptoms are absent.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Thorough histopathological analysis and immunohistochemistry are essential in arriving at a definite diagnosis when the classical presentation is absent.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.107842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T20:23:31Z","timestamp":1671567811000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Different clinocopathological presentations of steroid cell tumour - Report of three rare cases"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Nishani","family":"Jayatunge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Duncan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Knapp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Oligbo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niruthan","family":"Thirunavukkarasu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jasenka","family":"Mazibrada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-36-20260313","first-page":"1","article-title":"Ovarian steroid cell tumor (not otherwise specified): a case report of ovarian hyperandrogenism","volume":"2020","author":"Faten","year":"2020","journal-title":"Case Rep.
