Abstract :
Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary is believed to be a rare, benign, sex
cord stromal tumor occurring predominantly in younger women in the 2nd
and 3rd decades of their life. The prevalent clinical presentations include
pelvic or abdominal pain, mass, or menstrual changes. Even though it is
occasionally accompanied by hormonal manifestations, virilization as a result
of androgen production by the tumor is rare. The present research was
conducted to present a rare case of bilateral sclerosing stromal ovarian tumor
in a 20-year-old patient with irregular menstruation and pelvic pain. All of
the sclerosing stromal tumors were benign and were treated successfully
with enucleation or unilateral oophorectomy.
