Abstract
Ovarian sex cord–stromal tumors are uncommon tumors and clinically differ from epithelial tumors. They occur across a wide age range and patients often present with hormone-related symptoms. Most are associated with an indolent clinical course. Sex cord–stromal tumors are classified into 3 main categories: pure stromal tumors, pure sex cord tumors, and mixed sex cord–stromal tumors. The rarity, overlapping histomorphology and immunoprofile of various sex cord–stromal tumors often contributes to diagnostic difficulties. This article describes the various types of ovarian sex cord–stromal tumors and includes practical approaches to differential diagnoses and updates in classification.
