Hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary with sex cord stromal tumor: a previously unrecognized association.unrecognized association. Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2010:765-8.

BACKGROUND: Hepatoid carcinoma (HC) of ovary is a rare type of epithelial tumor composed mainly of epithelioid cells with abundant acidophilic cytoplasm,histologically indistinguishable from hepatocellular carcinoma. We report a previously unrecognized case of HC of ovary concurrent with a Sertoli cell tumor. CASE REPORT: A 42-year-old woman patient with a long-term history of hepatitis C  presented with a mass of left ovary without evidence of hepatic tumor. After initial diagnosis of primary ovarian carcinoma (FIGO Stage I), she had experienced a first recurrence in upper abdomen. Histologically, the primary tumor was composed of epithelioid cells with "hepatoid features" in association with a sex cord stromal tumor of Sertoli-type. Immunohistochemistry hepatoid cells stained positively for hepatocyte paraffin-1, alpha-fetoprotein and alpha-1 antitrypsin; moreover, Sertoli-type cells were positive for alpha-inhibin, calretinin and CD99. A final diagnosis of HC concurrent with Sertoli-type tumor was made. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of this unreported association of HC with Sertoli-like tumor, the problems of differential diagnosis and therapeutic management of these tumors are the subject of this presentation. A diagnosis of ovarian metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma is easy in patients with known primary tumor of liver and should be always excluded in these cases as an hepatoid variant of yolk sac tumor. Immunohistochemistry is not useful in these cases. However, a combination of clinical and pathological features is necessary for a correct diagnosis.

Alpha-fetoprotein secreting (AFP) Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors of ovary (SLCT) are now identified as a distinct entity among the uncommon group of sex cord tumors of ovary. We report an unusual case of recurrent AFP secreting ovarian tumors and as ileocecal mesenteric cyst in a 25-year-old patient resulting in difficulty in initial diagnosis of AFP producing SLCT. Although six recurrent cases were described out of the 25 reported cases of AFP secreting SLCTs, this patient with an unusual presentation of recurrence is the second case in the literature to the best of our knowledge.

A case of an ovarian, poorly differentiated, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in a 55-year-old woman is reported. The patient showed no virilization, but did show elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. The tumor, measuring 70x45x50 mm, consisted mainly of a diffuse proliferation of spindle cells.Among this proliferation, some tubules of Sertoli cells and groups of leydig cells were found. Immunoperoxidase studies, using anti-AFP, localized the AFP in the leydig cells.

A tumor of the right ovary in a 21-year-old single woman is reported. Secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, acne and deepening of the voice were associated with the tumor. Light and electron microscopic examinations showed that the tumor was composed of cells resembling Sertoli and Leydig cells of the testis in their cytology features and growth patterns. High levels of circulating dehydroepiandrosterone, androstenedione, testosterone and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were found preoperatively. Preoperative estrogen and progesterone levels were all slightly above the upper limits of normal for females. These hormone and AFP levels fell to within the normal range after removal of the tumor. Direct hormone and AFP production of this tumor was confirmed by immunohistochemical techniques  and long-term cell cultures in vitro. This is possibly the first report on a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in which AFP has been identified in the patient's plasma, in part of the tumor cells and the culture fluid.

A 16-year-old girl with virilization and elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels was found to have a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor of the ovary. Immunoperoxidase studies using anti-AFP localized AFP in cells with the histologic appearance of Leydig cells. Serum AFP fell to undetectable levels after excision of the tumor. The patient is alive and well 1 year postexcision.
