rare ovarian tumor producing excess steroids, causing hormonal imbalances

An Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor is a rare type of ovarian tumor that originates from the cells responsible for producing steroids, such as estrogen and testosterone. These tumors can lead to hormonal imbalances, causing symptoms like abnormal hair growth, menstrual irregularities, or virilization (development of male characteristics in females). They are typically benign but can sometimes be malignant, requiring careful medical evaluation and treatment.
