Plain-English summary
A 12-year-old spayed Yorkshire Terrier was brought to the vet because her belly was getting bigger over time. After some tests, the vet found she had an ovarian tumor made up of two types of abnormal cells. This type of tumor is called a luteoma and Sertoli cell tumor, which developed from leftover ovarian tissue. The dog was diagnosed and treated, but the abstract does not specify the treatment or outcome.

Abstract
A 12-year-old, spayed Yorkshire Terrier dog with a history of progressive abdominal distension was diagnosed with an ovarian sex-cord stromal tumor. Microscopically, the residual ovarian tissue sample was composed of 2 different tumor cell populations: a luteal-like cell and Sertoli cell components. These cells were notably immunopositive for vimentin, inhibin-α and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). On the basis of all findings, the tumor was diagnosed as luteoma and Sertoli cell tumor of the ovary developing from the ovarian remnant tissue.
