Abstract excerpt
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) are representative of androgenic ovarian tumors, and they show diverse histologic differentiation, including heterologous differentiation. Genetically, SLCTs are characterized by the presence of DICER1 mutations. In the present study, we analyzed the correlation between somatic DICER1 hotspot mutations and clinicopathological features in 10 ovarian SLCTs. Six of the 10 (60%)...
