Localization of small ovarian Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors by transvaginal sonography with color Doppler

Abstract

Color Doppler ultrasound is a non‐invasive diagnostic modality that has been gaining popularity in the evaluation of gynecological tumors. It demonstrates blood flow in a visually familiar way, and facilitates detection of neovascularity in pelvic tumors. In this article we describe, for the first time, a case in which a small androgen‐producing ovarian tumor was localized by color Doppler ultrasound after other non‐invasive imaging techniques failed.
