Steroid cell tumors of the ovary are rare type of sex-cord stromal tumor, comprising less than 0.1% of ovarian tumors. Steroid cell tumors produce testosterone causing virilizing symptoms like hirsutism, male pattern of baldness etc. Steroid cell tumor of ovary without any virilizing symptoms is rare. Serum testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) measurement is essential for evaluation of androgenic excess. Here we present steroid cell tumor ovary with malignant potential without any features of virilization but with some unusual findings like osteopenia and underweight.
