  • Sex cord-stromal tumors with annular tubules are very rare ovarian tumors that make up less than 1% of ovarian cancers and can recur decades after initial treatment.
  • A 16-year-old girl diagnosed and treated for this tumor experienced significant delays in follow-up, leading to late recurrences detected via imaging and elevated serum inhibin B levels.
