6.3.5 Sex Cord–Stromal Tumors

Sex cord tumors account for 5–10 % of all ovarian malignancies and derive from sex cord and specialized stroma of the developing gonads [119]. They can differentiate into an ovarian direction (granulosa–theca cells), into a testicular direction (Sertoli–Leydig), or into a stromal–fibromatous direction. They may occur from childhood (5 % of all malignancies in this age) to reproductive age and postmenopausal phase, being more common after menarche. These tumors are also the most common functional neoplasms of the ovary [3].
