Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary: a case report and literature review

Sclerosing stromal tumor [SST] is an uncommon benign tumor of the ovary, representing 2-6% of all stromal ovarian tumors. Comparatively to other fibrothecals tumors, SST is distinct by particular clinical and histological features. A case of SST occurring in 15-year-old female and review of the literature are described in the present article

[ particular hepatocellular carcinoma combining the ordinary and the fibrolamellar variant]

Fibrolamellar carcinoma [FLC] of the liver is a rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] occurring on non cirrhotic liver. Since its first description by Hugh Edmondson in 1956, 200 cases of FLC have been reported in the literature, but only some cases describe the association of the ordinary HCC with the FLC within the same lesion. We report in this study the case of a 14-year-Old female patient with a hepatic mass whose radiological aspect evoked a nodular and focal hyperplasia. Histologically, this tumor was composed of area of FLC mixed with ordinary HCC. Staining for cytokeratine 7 was positive in the FL component and negative in the ordinary HCC component
