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 1/2
months after first diagnosis, despite aggressive treatment consisting of
debulking surgery and aggressive adjuvant chemotherapy.
