Ovarian sex cord stromal tumors are infrequent and represents only 7% of all ovarian neoplasm. Cells of origin of these tumors are primitive sex cords or stromal cells. The stromal cells comprise of theca cells, fibroblasts and Leydig cells whereas the gonadal primitive sex cords include granulosa cells and Sertoli cells. According to recent WHO classification sex cord stromal tumors are further subdivided into pure stromal tumors, pure sex cord tumors and mixed sex cord stromal tumors. Here we are going to discuss a rare case of pure stromal tumors i.e., Sclerosing stromal tumor.
