Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
A sclerosingSclerosing stromal tumour (SST) of the ovary is a rare ovarian neoplasm. It is considered a sub type of ovarian stromal tumour.
Epidemiology
It occurs predominantly in young women (peaks, peaks around 2nd to 3rd decades of life)1-2.
Clinical presentation
Patients may have menstrual irregularity and / or/or pelvic pain 4.
Pathology
It is histologically characterized by cellular heterogeneity, prominent vasculature, and a pseudolobular appearance composed of cellular and hypocellular areas.
They generally tend to be unilateral 3.
Radiographic features
Ultrasound
Described sonographic features (whilst being non specific) include tumour with multi-locular cystic components and irregularly thickened septa and tumor walls or a solid tumor including several small cystic components 5.
Pelvic MRI
Described signal characteristics include 5
-
T2:
- signal intensities of the cystic components were high and those of the solid components were inhomogeneous, ranging from intermediate-high to high
. - MR may show pseudolobulation 7-8 of the lesion which consists of low-intensity nodules set against high-intensity stroma on T2-weighted images 7
- signal intensities of the cystic components were high and those of the solid components were inhomogeneous, ranging from intermediate-high to high
-
dynamic MRI: may show marked early enhancement of the solid components 5,7
