Resumo(s)
Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) of the ovary is an
extremely rare and benign ovarian neoplasm, accounting
for 6% of the sex cord stromal ovarian tumours subtype.
Usually, it is found during the second and third decades
of life. Patients commonly present with pelvic pain, a
palpable pelvic mass or menstrual irregularity. We report
a case of a 20-year-old woman reporting of mild pelvic
pain, with normal laboratory data. On imaging
examinations, a large right adnexal tumour was found,
with features suggesting an ovarian sex cord tumour.
The patient underwent right salpingo-oophorectomy,
diagnosing a SST of the ovary. This paper also reviews
the literature, and emphasises the typical pathological
and imaging characteristics of these rare benign ovarian
lesions, and their impact, in a conservative surgery.
