Majority of these tumors are benign, occur in pre-menopausal women and are associated with hyperandrogenism. However, around one-third of cases are malignant and do not present with hormonal manifestations. A 48-year-old post-menopausal woman presented with complaints of gradually increasing progressive abdominal distension over the past 3 months. She had a history of weight gain but denied any symptoms of virilization. On examination, abdominal distension associated with ascites was noted. Serum CA125 level was raised. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a solid right adnexal mass. Based on the clinical impression of epithelial ovarian malignancy, the patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and infracolic omentectomy. Histopathological examination revealed steroid cell tumor of the not otherwise specified type in the right ovary with the capsular breach. However, all other organs, including the omentum were free of tumor. The index case is unique for its presentation in a post-menopausal woman, association with ascites, elevated CA125 levels and lack of any virilization manifestations. Establishing an early and accurate tissue diagnosis is essential so that appropriate surgical management can be done to prevent the development of metastases in potentially malignant cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmh.jmh_114_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,17]],"date-time":"2021-04-17T04:36:19Z","timestamp":1618634179000},"page":"82-84","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Steroid Cell Tumor of the Ovary Presenting with Ascites"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Pavani","family":"Velamala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parikshaa","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pooja","family":"Sikka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Divyesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arvind","family":"Rajwanshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"886","DOI":"10.14260\/jemds\/2018\/202","article-title":"Incidence of virilisation in sex cord stromal tumours of ovary, a 5-year experience in a tertiary care gynaecological centre","volume":"7","author":"Revathy","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Evol Med Dent Sci"},{"key":"R3-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"890","DOI":"10.5858\/2003-127-890-PQCART","article-title":"Pathologic quiz case: A rare tumor of the ovary","volume":"127","author":"Amneus","year":"2003","journal-title":"Arch Pathol Lab Med"},{"key":"R4-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.877315","article-title":"Classification of human ovarian tumors","volume":"73","author":"Scully","year":"1987","journal-title":"Environ Health Perspect"},{"key":"R6-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-014-3165-0","article-title":"Steroid cell tumor of the ovary in a pregnant woman whose androgenic symptoms were masked by pregnancy","volume":"290","author":"\u00d6z","year":"2014","journal-title":"Arch Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"R7-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-2215-6-53","article-title":"Benign and malignant ovarian steroid cell tumors, not otherwise specified: Case studies, comparison, and review of the literature","volume":"6","author":"Jiang","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Ovarian Res"},{"key":"R8-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"365","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.2000.00123.x","article-title":"Virilizing tumors of the ovary: Imaging features","volume":"15","author":"Outwater","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R9-14-20240906","first-page":"516","article-title":"Ovarian steroid cell tumor, not otherwise specified: A clinicopathologic study","volume":"36","author":"Veras","year":"2007","journal-title":"Zhonghua Bing Li Xue Za Zhi"},{"key":"R10-14-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"835","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-198711000-00002","article-title":"Ovarian steroid cell tumors (not otherwise specified): A clinicopathological analysis of 63 cases","volume":"11","author":"Hayes","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"}],"container-title":["Journal of Mid-life Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jmh.JMH_114_20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]],"date-time":"2026-08-27T15:26:00Z","timestamp":1787844360000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jmh.JMH_114_20"}},"subtitle":["A Rare Neoplasm in a Postmenopausal Woman"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_114_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-7800"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-7800","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]}}}
