	<abstract>&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot; face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot;&gt;Leydig stromal cell tumor is a rare ovarian tumor that belongs to the group of sex-cord stromal tumors. They produce testosterone leading to hyperandrogenism. We present a 41yr old woman with symptoms of virilization and a mass of right adenex via ultra Sonography, and a rise of total and free serum testosterone. An ovarian source of androgen was suspected and a surgery performed. A diagnosis of leydig-stromal cell tumor was confirmed. Our report is a reminder that although idiopathic hirsutism and other benign androgen excess disorder like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOs) are common, ovarian mass should be considered in differential diagnosis.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot; face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt; </abstract>
