Gynandroblastoma is the sex cord-stromal tumor composed of clearly identifiable granulosa–theca cell and Sertoli–Leydig cell elements in variable amounts which comprise less than 1% of the sex cord-stromal tumors. Very few cases of gynandroblastoma are present in the literature to our knowledge. We discuss a case of gynandroblastoma of the ovary in a 62-year-old menopausal female. The microscopic features of the tumor showed both Sertoli cell and granulosa cell component. These tumors are associated with hormonal imbalance as the cells involved participate in the ovarian hormonal function. Thus, extensive sectioning of the tumor must be done by the surgical pathologist to rule out the possibility of other tumors and provide with a correct diagnosis of the tumor which can help the clinicians to plan an adequate management protocol for this rare tumor which will further elucidate into a properly regulated hormonal status and a better quality of life for the patients.
