Bilateral Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors Harboring Germline and Distinct Somatic Mutations: Case Report and Literature Review.

tumor predisposition syndrome is characterized by an increased risk for development of pleuropulmonary blastoma, pituitary blastoma, multinodular thyroid goiter, thyroid carcinoma, sex cord stromal tumor, cystic nephroma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and tumors of the CNS, amongst others. Of this list, only pituitary blastoma is recognized as pathognomonic for the syndrome. We describe a 15-year-old female with bilateral, asynchronous Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT). Both tumors harbored an identical germline frameshift mutation as well as unique somatic hot-spot point mutations. A review of bilateral SLCTs demonstrates that all patients with available mutation status carried a germline mutation (100%, 9 of 9). In cases with known somatic status on bilateral tumors, all harbored distinct somatic mutations (100%, 5 of 5). Our findings support the notion that bilateral ovarian SLCTs are indeed separate events and do not represent recurrent or metastatic disease.
