Benign ovarian steroid cell tumor, NOS. (A) Macroscopic appearance: Note the well-circumscribed, solid, yellow-brown tumor. (B) Microscopic appearance: cells with small round nuclei, mild atypia, and no mitosis are arranged in a diffuse pattern of columns or nests separated by a rich vascular network. The cells demonstrate abundant pale cytoplasm and no crystals of Reinke (H&E, 20x).

Malignant Steroid cell tumor, NOS. Microscopic appearance: Cells with irregular nuclei or atypia (A, H&E, 40x), and mitosis (B, H&E, 20x) are arranged in a diffuse pattern of columns or nests separated by a rich vascular network. Diffuse hemorrhage and necrosis are observed (C, H&E, 20x). The presence of intravascular tumor embolus further supports the diagnosis of malignancy (D, H&E, 10x).

Microscopically, diffusely arranged tumor cells with irregular nuclei or atypia were identified (Figure 3A). More than 10 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields were seen (Figure 3B). Diffuse hemorrhage and necrosis are observed (Figure 3C. The presence of intravascular tumor embolus further supports the diagnosis of malignancy (Figure 3D).
