Abstract:
Sclerosing stromal tumour of ovary is a distinct sex cord stromal tumour bearing a morphological resemblance to a variety of tumours. Commonly affecting young females in 2nd and 3rd decades, presenting as lower abdominal mass with pain and menstrual irregularities it takes a benign course with good prognosis. Some are hormone producing and symptomatic. Distinct histomorphology with IHC helps in confirming the diagnosis. One such case is reported here in a young female which raised the suspicion of malignancy during radiological and intraoperative examination.
