Abstract

Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) is an uncommon ovarian sex-cord stromal neoplasm that has distinctive clinical, pathological and radiological features. Unlike other stromal tumours, which commonly present in the fifth and sixth decades, it occurs predominantly in the second and third decades, typically in the early 20s [1]. As SST is rare, reports of unusual presentations might assist diagnosis.
