Abstract :
Sclerosing stromal tumor is a rare benign ovarian sex-cord stromal tumor, which has distinctive clinical and pathologic features. The tumors occur predominantly in the second and third decades and are histopathologically characterized by the pseudolobular pattern of the cellular and hypocellular areas with widespread areas of sclerosis and a two-cell population of spindled and polygonal cells, and marked vascularity. We presented a sclerosing stromal tumor of the left ovary in a 73-years-old patient who presented with an ovarian torsion. Although sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary mostly occurs in young patients, some must remember sclerosing stromal tumor in older ones. Like any ovarian mass, sclerosing stromal tumor may cause the torsion of the ovary.
