Explanation

Sex cord tumor with annular tubules is strongly associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, especially when bilateral and small. In this syndrome, these tumors tend to be benign or low-grade. Mucinous tumors are linked to pseudomyxoma peritonei, dysgerminoma to gonadoblastoma in dysgenetic gonads, and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors occur sporadically with androgenic manifestations.
