Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours of the ovary (SLCT) are rare tumours predominantly caused by mutations in the gene. We present a patient with a unilateral SLCT who had an underlying germline gene mutation. We discuss the underlying pathology, risks, and screening opportunities available to those with a mutation in this gene as SLCT is only one of a multitude of other tumours encompassing syndrome. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. As such, genetic counselling is a key component of the management of women with SLCT.
