ABSTRACT
Sclerosing stromal tumors (SST) of the ovary are a distinct, but rare benign neoplasms. These tumors appear solid and are very vascular and therefore give the impression of a malignant tumor. They occur mostly in young women. Morphologically and histologically they have distinct characteristics, which make them different from other stromal tumors. The importance of this report is that, though the tumor appears malignant (solid and vascular) since it occurs in young women, care should be taken before embarking on radical surgery.
