Abstract:
Sclerosing stromal tumor of ovary is extremely rare benign neoplasm, occurring predominently in the second and third decades of life. It was first described by Chalvardjian and Scully in 1973 and by Damjanov in 1975 as distinctive subtype of other ovarian sex cord stromal tumor. This tumor differs from the fibroma, thecoma and lipid cell tumor clinically and pathologically by showing pseudolobular pattern, prominent vascularity and cell heterogeneity. We report a case of sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary in 30-year-old woman with brief review of the literature.
