title: Ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor in a young woman with ectopic pregnancy: clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical studies.
abstract: In this article, we described an ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) in a young woman with ectopic pregnancy. It is important to distinguish SST from fibroma, thecoma, and lipoid cell tumors clinically and histologically. Several unique histologic features including pseudolobulation, sclerosis and prominent vascularity are clearly reflected at histopathological findings. The SST cells were immunopositive for CD34, Desmin and SMA, and negative for factor VIII-related antigen, CD31, S-100, ER and PR. The patient's postoperative recovery was smooth and she was discharged after 21 days.
