Abstract
Introduction
Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) of the ovary is a rare benign tumour of the ovarian stroma, first described in 1973 (CitationChalvardjian and Scully 1973). Although it is classified within the sex cord stromal tumour category, it shows distinctive clinical and pathological features (CitationChalvardjian and Scully 1973). It is predominantly seen in the second and third decades of life and is usually hormonally inactive (CitationChalvardjian and Scully 1973; CitationMarelli et al. 1998). However, rarely it may show androgenic activity (CitationPark et al. 2011). Diagnosis is often made by pathological examination. Tumour markers usually remain normal in these patients. We present here a case of SST of the ovary with elevated CA19-9 levels.
