Definition
English
:
A
sex
cord-gonadal stromal tumor consists of
LEYDIG CELLS
;
SERTOLI CELLS
; and
FIBROBLASTS
in varying proportions and degree of differentiation. Most such tumors produce
ANDROGENS
in the
Leydig cells
, formerly known as androblastoma or arrhenoblastoma. Androblastomas occur in the
TESTIS
or the
OVARY
causing precocious masculinization in the males, and defeminization, or virilization (VIRILISM) in the females. In some cases, the
Sertoli cells
produce
ESTROGENS.
