Abstract
Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is a rare, benign tumor. The most common clinical symptom is menstrual irregularity. Diagnosis of SST is often made by postoperative pathologic examination. The important differential diagnoses are other sex cord stromal tumors including fibroma, thecoma and etc. We present four cases of SST of the ovary during 10 years with a brief review of the literature.
