Sex cord-stromal tumour is a group of tumours of sex cord-derived tissues of the ovary and testis. It accounts for 8% of ovarian cancers and a minority of testicular cancers.

This group consists of:
* Granulosa cell tumour
* Thecoma
* Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour
* Fibroma

These tumours tend to be "functional", producing estrogens or androgens. They may have dramatic clinical presentations. Almost all are unilateral.

ee also

* sex cord
* stroma of ovary
