Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare sex-cord stromal tumors. They arise from the sex cord sertoli cells and from the stroma of the genital ridge, the Leydig cells. They are generally of low-grade malignancy and rarely they can be poorly differentiated when they have a very aggressive course and poor prognosis. Majority of the tumors are characterized by androgen secretion. Most of the Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors occur in younger women less than 30 years of age, which necessitates the need for conservative management. A case of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary occurring in a 19-year-old girl, presenting with virilizing features is presented. She was treated with unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy.
