title: Sclerosing stromal tumor in an accessory ovary.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  An accessory ovary is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the female reproductive tract. Tumors arising in ectopic ovaries are extremely rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  This 18-year-old woman had a pelvic tumor attached to the right ovary which was solid cystic and lobulated and histologically and immunohistochemically showed the appearances of sclerosing stromal tumor, a benign entity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We present the first reported case of sclerosing stromal tumor that arose in an accessory ovary.
