    The study analyzed 12 cases of ovarian Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) using ultrasound imaging data from January 2015 to January 2023.

  • 2

    Among the tumors, 41.7% were well-differentiated, 41.7% moderately differentiated, and 8.3% were retiform type.

  • 3

    The majority of SLCTs presented as solid masses (58.3%), with notable peripheral vascularity observed in 66.7% of cases.

  • 4

    All patients with available preoperative testosterone levels exhibited elevated values, indicating hyperandrogenism.

  • 5

    Ultrasound findings may enhance the suspicion for SLCTs, particularly in younger patients with hyperandrogenic features.
