'''Sex cord-stromal tumours''' (abbreviated '''SCSTs''') are a group of tumours found in the [[testis]] and [[ovary]] that arise from the cells that support the germ cells. | |||
They are typically benign, but may be malignant. | |||
Some tumours classically found in the testis are also found in the ovary. | |||
