Lipid cell tumor of the ovary is among the rarest tumors belonging to the virilizing group of ovarian neoplasms. A lipid cell tumor of the ovary is described in an 18-year-old woman with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and frank virilization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The tumor was a cause of virilizing symptoms and infertility in the patient. Surgical removal of the tumor reverted the symptoms of virilization, and the patient subsequently conceived. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Symptoms of virilization were present in the form of deepening of voice and thinning of scalp hair. [ijdvl.com]

Histology Cyst cavity is often lined with keratinized squamous epithelium and usually contains abundant sebaceous and sweat glands (Figure 6). There is usually a raised protuberance projecting into the cyst cavity known as the Rokitansky nodule. [intechopen.com]

A CT scan confirmed a 10.4 5.9 cm solid left adnexal mass as well as another solid nodule mass measuring 4.9 4 cm in the cul-de-sac and mild ascites (Figures 1(c) and 1(d)). [hindawi.com]

A lipid cell tumor of the ovary is described in an 18-year-old woman with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and frank virilization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, menstrual irregularities such as oligomenorrhea, menorrhagia, and secondary amenorrhea tend to be the hallmark of these tumors in women of reproductive age. [www1.cgmh.org.tw]

These tumors produce high levels of estrogen, which causes its characteristic symptoms: menometrorrhagia; endometrial hyperplasia; tender, enlarged breasts; postmenopausal bleeding; and secondary amenorrhea. [en.wikipedia.org]

Young and Scully s 1979 classification of ovarian tumors with endocrine manifestations ( Figure 1 ) includes sex-cord stromal tumors, steroid-cell tumors and other ovarian disorders with endocrine function. [omicsonline.org]

Pathology On gross examination, the left adnexa consisted of a normal fallopian tube attached to an 11 8 4 cm solid ovarian mass with a smooth intact surface. [hindawi.com]
