Androblastoma
Definition
A rare androgen-secreting tumor located in the ovary (also known as a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor) or testis, developing from the embryonic structures of primitive sex cords. Structurally, this neoplastic proliferation frequently induces clinical phenomena of virilization and secondary masculinization in female patients, requiring precise histopathological diagnosis and surgical excision.
