title: [Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary in a 30-year-old woman. A case report and review of the literature].
abstract: Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary (SST) is an extremely rare neoplasm occurring predominantly in the second and third decades of life. It is a distinct benign neoplasm that differs from fibromas, thecomas, luteinized tumors and lipoid cell tumors. It presents most often with non-specific symptoms. We describe the case of a 30-year-old woman who developed menstrual irregularities and pelvic pain. She was diagnosed and treated operatively at our Department. During surgery, a benign tumor was found in the right ovary. Light microscopic and ultrastructural study confirmed the diagnosis of sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary.
