The most common symptoms were hirsutism (73.5%), clitoromegaly (68.4%), menstrual irregularity (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200979), and voice change (60.7%). Children\u2009&lt;\u20098 years had shorter diagnostic latency with less frequent hyperandrogenic manifestations. Baseline 17\u2010hydroxyprogesterone (17\u2010OHP) and dehydroepiandrosteroe sulfate (DHEAS) were elevated in 70% and 18.3% of patients, respectively. Median tumor size was 6.6\u2009cm, whereas tumors were bilateral in eight patients. Juvenile granulosa cell tumors and Sertoli\u2010Leydig cell tumors were most common in the &lt;\u20098 years and &gt;\u200913 years groups, respectively. Recurrence was rare over a median follow\u2010up of 1 year.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hyperandrogenic manifestations are less frequent in children\u2009&lt;\u20098 years with VOT.
