Background:
Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is an extremely rare, benign, sex cord-stromal tumor. The tumor consists of cells with the multilineage potential of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and the ability to secrete estrogen or androgen. Current research suggests that the tumor originates in the ovarian cortex. SSTs of the ovary are predominantly found in young women aged 20-30 years; information describing SST during pregnancy is limited.
Case:
We report a case of SST of the ovary combined with early onset severe preeclampsia.
Conclusion:
We document the clinical and pathological characteristics of the patient's disease, including the effects on the pregnancy and fetus.
