Sclerosing Stromal Tumor of the Ovary: MRI

Abstract: The MR and pathologic findings of a case of sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) are presented. MR findings reflecting pathological features of SST include pseudolobulation, which consists of low-intensity nodules set against high-intensity stroma on T2-weighted images, and striking enhancement on postcontrast images.

“…Of these, >80% of SSTs have been observed in young adults, in the second and third decades of life (2,3). The most common clinical symptoms of patients with SST of the ovary are menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain and non-specific symptoms associated with the existence of a mass in the pelvic area (2,4). Due to the rarity of this neoplasm, it is not always possible to predict the presence of this tumor preoperatively based solely on clinical and radiological findings (5).…”

“…Unlike the thecoma-fibroma group of ovarian stromal tumors, which tend to occur in the fifth and sixth decades, the SST predominantly affects young women with a mean age of 28 years [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Following the original description of the tumor in 1973 by Chalvardjian and Scully, in their series of 10 patients [1], there have been several additional small series reported [2,5] and multiple isolated case reports focusing on the pathologic aspects of this unusual entity [3].…”

“…SST occurs most frequently in young females (average age at diagnosis 27, to 28 years) [6] and the most common signs and symptoms are a palpable pelvic mass, metrorrhagia, menstural irregularity, and pelvic pain.…”
