Introduction

Ovarian steroid cell tumors (SCTs), not otherwise specified (NOS), are rare, with few large studies.

Case report

A 58 year old menopausal para 3 female who presented with increased facial hair growth and deepening of voice for 3 years. Her serum testosterone was 410 ng/dl and free testosterone 18.90 pg/ml. MRI pelvis showed the presence of a solid left ovarian tumour 2*1.5*1.9 cm with minimal peritoneal fluid. The provisional diagnosis of a hormone-secreting tumour of the ovary was kept and abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy with infracolic omentectomy was done. The histopathology report showed a steroid cell tumour not otherwise specified.

Conclusion

Steroid cell tumour not otherwise specified though are rare but not exceedingly uncommon. Accurate diagnosis can be achieved through biochemical and radiological suspicion, with confirmation by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
