Abstract
These are tumors other than those in the sex cord-stromal and steroid cell categories that are characterized [1] by (1) a stroma that is morphologically compatible with steroid hormone secretion and (2) clinical biochemical or pathologic incidence of endocrine abnormalities [2] of estrogenic androgenic or rarely progestogenic type, or a combination of them.
