Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours are part of the sex cord-stromal tumour group of ovarian neoplasms.

This group of tumours is rare, comprising less than 1% of ovarian neoplasms.

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours are subdivided into many different subtypes.
The most typical is composed of tubules lined by Sertoli cells and interstitial clusters of Leydig cells.
As a group, 25% of these tumours are malignant.
