Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour may occur in association with DICER1 syndrome or emerge as a sporadic phenomenon. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour manifests as well differentiated, moderately differentiated or intermediate grade and poorly differentiated neoplasms. Additionally, categories such as Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour with heterologous elements or retiform variant of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour may be expounded. Majority of paediatric Sertoli- Leydig cell tumours are moderately differentiated or poorly differentiated, concur with DICER1 syndrome and frequently display heterologous elements or retiform tumour configuration. Histological categorization of neoplasms with enhanced tumour grade appears challenging [1,2]. Well differentiated tumefaction exhibits distin

The most important measure to control this pandemic is vaccination and to follow public health measures like wearing facemasks, maintaining social distancing, and hygiene.

During the process of vaccine development, antenatal and breastfeeding women were not included in vaccine research trials, even though they were at increased risk of developing severe COVID-19 infection in comparison to non-pregnant women. There is reassuring data that there are no safety concerns in antenatal patients who received mRNA vaccine in the third trimester and no evidence of increased miscarriage rate if taken at less than 20 weeks of pregnancy. In mRNA vaccine immunized pregnant women, antibodies were found in cord blood. The healthcare staff should provide effective counselling a
