Research progress on sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

A sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary (SST) is an extremely rare benign solid ovarian tumor,which is derived from the ovarian stroma and is a distinct subtype of sex cord-stromal tumor.It can not just be diagnosed accurately by routine preoperative physic-chemical examinations and postoperative immunohistochemical examinations.Recently,the application of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has improved diagnostic accuracy,but the final diagnosis relies on pathological examination.Compared with the traditional way of oophorectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy,the laparoscopic removal of SST will improve future success of pregancy.Besides,SST is an obvious endemic problem.Therefore,an increase in preoperative diagnosis rate of SST can avoid casual extension of resection during surgery and protect patients' fertility.
