Presentation
In males, the presenting symptom is a slow growing testicular mass. Most cases follow a benign clinical course. In females it may present with estrogenic or androgenic manifestations. The vast majority of cases have a benign clinical course. [codes.iarc.fr]
Abstract A case of a 17-year-old patient diagnosed with bilateral androblastoma of the ovary is presented. The patient was admitted because of secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism and acne. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Signs and symptoms[edit] Due to excess testosterone secreted by the tumour, one-third of adult females present with a recent history of progressive masculinization. [en.wikipedia.org]
While they can present at any age, they typically present <30 years old, with a mean age of 14 years. In ~30-50% of patients, the presenting symptoms are related to clinical signs of androgenic activity 6. [radiopaedia.org]

- Virilization
The signs of either virilism or masculinism decreased. Hormonal examination showed a normal level of testosteron. [i-lib.ugm.ac.id]
Androblastomas occur in the TESTIS or the OVARY causing precocious masculinization in the males, and defeminization, or virilization (VIRILISM) in the females. In some cases, the Sertoli cells produce ESTROGENS. [connects.catalyst.harvard.edu]

- Ascites
Ascites & hydrothorax when present in any other conditions is called Pseudo Meigs' syndrome. [gradestack.com]
In 20-40% of cases, such tumors are associated with abdominal ascites in the triad of ovarian neoplasm, ascites, and pleural effusions (Meigs syndrome). Once the neoplasm is removed, the ascites and pleural effusion resolves. [prep4usmle.com]
During surgery, ~200 ml yellow ascites was noted and cytological examination of the ascites showed no tumor cells. The mass was a cyst that originated from the right ovary with a 5-mm rupture (Fig. 1). [spandidos-publications.com]
- Swelling
Gynecomastia preceded the clinical appearace of testicular swelling by 3 months, suggesting that the 2 tumors developed contemporaneously and that, in theory, the Sertoli cell tumor is probably dependent on the germ cell tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although there is only a painless local swelling distant metastases in different organs may already be present. [urologie.insel.ch]
