L A Andrade et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2001 May.

Abstract

Background: An accessory ovary is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the female reproductive tract. Tumors arising in ectopic ovaries are extremely rare.

Case: This 18-year-old woman had a pelvic tumor attached to the right ovary which was solid cystic and lobulated and histologically and immunohistochemically showed the appearances of sclerosing stromal tumor, a benign entity.

Conclusion: We present the first reported case of sclerosing stromal tumor that arose in an accessory ovary.
