Introduction: ovarian cancer is the third most common gynecological cancer and the one with the worst prognosis. Among non-epithelial tumors, there are three groups: pure stromal tumors, pure tumors of the sexual cords and mixed tumors, which originate from the sexual cords and stromal cells, with cell tumors belonging to the latter group by Sertoli-Leydig. Objective: to describe the clinical case of a patient diagnosed with a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor at the “Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola” Provincial Teaching Hospital in Ciego de Ávila. Case presentation: the case of a 14-year-old adolescent was presented, with a history of apparent health, with early onset of sexual relations since the age of 13, who attended the Provincial Outpatient Consultation of Child and Youth Gynecology reporting menstrual delay accompanied by an increase in abdominal volume without other symptoms. The study carried out confirmed the presence of a right adnexal tumor mass, which is why it was decided to perform surgery. The biopsy performed confirmed the diagnosis of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. Conclusions: the case presented constitutes the first and only existing record of its type attended in the province of Ciego de Ávila. The diagnosis of this entity is due to a thorough physical examination and joint assessment by a multidisciplinary team.
