[Sclerosing tumour of the ovarian stroma. A case history (author's transl)]

An anatomo-clinical presentation of a benign sclerosing tumour of the ovarian stroma brings the number of such cases reported, as far as we can tell, in the literature to 13. Removal of this tumour from a woman of 26 years of age rapidly solved the problem of her sterility. The patient is in good health more than 6 years after the operation. From the histopathological point of view the tumour is characterised especially by a tissue arranged in intensely vasculaised lobules, which are rich in ballooned-but cells filled with lipids and followed by sclerosis.
