Abstract:
Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) is a rare benign ovarian neoplasm and predominantly affects young women in the second and third decades with distinctive clinical features like irregular mensturation and dysmenorrhea. SST is usually solid and the possibility of malignancy should be considered. Recently some authors reported it is possible to predict the presence of this tumor preoperatively on the basis of the contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. We experienced a case of sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary with characteristic clinical, pathologic and radiologic findings. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.
