Key result
Surgical resection and enucleation successfully treated a rare bilateral sclerosing stromal ovarian tumor in a 20-year-old female while preserving both ovaries and the uterus.
Why the study?
Sclerosing stromal tumors of the ovary are rare, and this report presents an uncommon case of bilateral presentation in a young patient.
Case Report (n=1)
Sclerosing stromal tumors of the ovary can present bilaterally in young women and are typically benign, treatable with conservative surgery.
Supports fertility-preserving surgery for rare bilateral ovarian tumors in young women; leaves open need for larger series to guide practice.
Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary is believed to be a rare, benign, sex cord stromal tumor occurring predominantly in younger women in the 2nd and 3rd decades of their life. The prevalent clinical presentations include pelvic or abdominal pain, mass, or menstrual changes. Even though it is occasionally accompanied by hormonal manifestations, virilization as a result of androgen production by the tumor is rare. The present research was conducted to present a rare case of bilateral sclerosing stromal ovarian tumor in a 20-year-old patient with irregular menstruation and pelvic pain. All of the sclerosing stromal tumors were benign and were treated successfully with enucleation or unilateral oophorectomy.

Mofrad et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Bilateral Sclerosing Stromal Ovarian Tumor (n=1). Surgical resection and enucleation was evaluated on Tumor resection and fertility preservation. Surgical resection and enucleation successfully treated a rare bilateral sclerosing stromal ovarian tumor in a 20-year-old female while preserving both ovaries and the uterus.
