Sex cord tumour

Has anyone heard of sex cord tumour with annular tubules?   I was originally diagnosed with granulosa cell tumour but I asked for a second opinion and was told that the diagnosis has changed.

I aSex cord-stromal neoplasms account for ~10% of all ovarian neoplasms. They are composed of various cell types derived from gonadal stroma and sex cords. They account for most of the hormonally active ovarian tumors. Granulosa cell tumors and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are the most common. Unlike patients with common epithelial tumors, in which 75% are considered to be at stage III or IV at diagnosis, patients with these tumors are at stage I at diagnosis 70% of the time. Also unlike common epithelial tumors, sex cord-stromal tumors often have more specific symptoms. Granulosa cell tumors, which are most common in postmenopausal women, may cause vaginal bleeding and an elevated level of the tumor marker inhibin in the blood. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare; the average age of patients diagnosed with these tumors is 25, and only 10% of patients are over 50. About 33% of these tumors produce signs of virilism (infrequent menstrual periods, cessation of menstrual periods before menopause, hoarse voice, and appearance of facial hair).
