ABSTRACT
Los tumores virilizantes, corresponden al 1% de todos los tumores funcionales del ovario. Estos tipos de tumores virilizantes se originan de las células pluri-potenciales del estroma ovárico, tienen la capacidad de secretar 17-hidroxiprogesterona, testosterona y androstenediona, desencadenando hiperandrogenismo clínico. Son catalogados como de bajo potencial maligno, con un patrón de crecimiento lento, bien diferenciados, diagnosticados en su mayoría en estadío I y II, de buen pronóstico y típicos de mujeres en edad reproductiva. El objetivo de esta comunicación es presentar dos casos clínicos con diagnóstico de tumor virilizante de ovario, tratadas con cirugía laparoscópica por mono puerto.
Virilizing tumors, corresponding to 1% of all functional ovarian tumors. Those type of virilizing tumors originate from pluripotential ovarian stromal cells and have the capacity to secrete 17-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone and androstenedione, triggering clinical hyperandrogenism. They are classified as low malignant potential, well differentiated, with a pattern of slow growth, mostly diagnosed in stage I and II, with good prognosis and typical of women of reproductive age. The aim of this paper is to present two cases of virilizing ovarian tumor treated by mono port laparoscopic surgery.

Leydig cell tumor is a rare form of testicular neoplasm which comprises 1-3% of all testicular tumors and only about 3% of these tumors are bilateral. A few Leydig all tumor have been described in patients with klinefelter's syndrome so far.: The patient described in this case report was a 24 year-old man with chief complaint of infertility for one year. Physical examination, semen analysis, testes sonography and hormonal assay were done for him. Right side simple orchiectomy was performed for patient. This tumor is always benign in children and approximately 90% are benign in adults. Clinical presentation is testicular enlargement, gynecomastia, sexual activity disturbances such as decreased libido, infertility and azoospermia. We recommend complete exam and karyotype in patients with infertility and azoospermia

We report a 16 year old girl presenting with secondary amenorrhea, a history of voice coarsening, hirsutism and a body mass index of 35 kg/m2. Pelvic ultrasound and CT scans showed a retro uterine dense mass. She was operated and a left ovarian tumor was excised. Pathological examination disclosed a Sertoli-Leydig tumor
