Abstract
A 36 year-old infertile female developed a stage IV (FIGO) ovarian carcinoma consisting of a poorly differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour after receiving one course of ovulation induction with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) followed by gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa). The patient died of liver metastasis and hepatic failure 4 1/4 months after first diagnosis, despite aggressive treatment consisting of debulking surgery and aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy.
