ABSTRACT
Sertoli-Leydig Cell tumor; a variant of Sex-cord stromal tumor, accounts less than 0.5% of neoplasm of ovary. They are mostly prevalent in second & third decades of life. Literature review documents that histopathologically Sertoli –Leydig cell tumors may be well differentiated, intermediately differentiated, poorly differentiated and some may have heterologous elements. Among the histopathological variants, the intermediate variant has the lowest incidence. In this instance, we report a sertoli-Leydig tumor with intermediate differentiation. A bicornuate uterus was noticed in this woman as an incidental finding. The incidence of Mullerian duct defects is less than 3%. These Mullerian anomalies are often complicated by repeated pregnancy losses, preterm labor, labor dystocia, dysmenorrhoea. However, this patient had uneventful obstetric history thus clearly indicating that asymptomatic Mullerian anomalies do not require surgical intervention. Only one case of Simultaneous occurrence of ovarian neoplasm with bicornuate uterus as an incidental finding has been reported. We report this case for the rarity of histopathological variant of ovarian neoplasm & associated uterine malformation.
