Update on Ovarian Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors

Clin Lab Med. 2023 Jun;43(2):245-274. doi: 10.1016/j.cll.2023.03.001.

Abstract

This article focuses on the recent advances in ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, predominantly in the setting of their molecular underpinnings. The integration of genetic information with morphologic and immunohistochemical findings in this rare subset of tumors is of clinical significance from refining the diagnostic and prognostic stratifications to genetic counseling.

Keywords: Adult granulosa cell tumor; DICER1; FOXL2; Gynandroblastoma; Juvenile Granulosa cell tumor; Microcystic stromal tumor; Ovary; Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor; Sex cord-stromal tumor.
