Özet

Sclerosing stromal tumors of the ovary are distinct, but rare benign neoplasms. These tumors appear solid and are very vascular giving the impression of malignant tumors. They occur mostly in young women. Morphologically they have distinct characteristics which differentiate them from other stromal tumors. Benign ovarian tumors associated with Meigs' syndrome are rare. In this article a case of ovarian sclerosing stromal tumor associated with Meigs' syndrome in a 17-year-old women is described and the differential diagnosis is also discussed.
