Proliferating Brenner tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms. This case highlights a unique papillary presentation of a proliferating Brenner tumor in a young woman, emphasizing its distinct histological features.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Brenner tumors represent a rare subset of ovarian neoplasms, accounting for 1-2% of all ovarian tumors.
  • Proliferating Brenner tumors (PBTS) exhibit epithelial proliferation that can mimic well-differentiated urothelial carcinomas.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old female patient underwent surgery for a left ovarian tumor.
  • Gross examination revealed a cystic, multilocular ovarian mass with polyoid excrescences.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed a papillary proliferation lined by transitional cells without stromal invasion.
  • The presence of mucinous cells within some cystic cavities was also noted.
  • The definitive diagnosis was a proliferating Brenner tumor.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing the diverse histological presentations of proliferating Brenner tumors.
  • Understanding the clinical and pathological characteristics of this rare entity is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Further discussion on the clinical and pathological features of this rare entity is warranted.
