Sclerosing stromal tumors are rare benign ovarian stromal tumors, which have distinctive clinical and pathologic features. The tumors occur predominantly in the second and third decades and are histologically characterized by the pseudolobular pattern of the cellular and hypocellular areas, marked vascularity, and heterogeneity of the cellular area. We analyzed 7 cases of sclerosing stromal tumors, which showed a typical sonographic appearance. On sonograms, sclerosing stromal tumors were solid and cystic and contained multiple round or cleftlike cysts. Ascites was rare. On transvaginal color Doppler sonograms, sclerosing stromal tumors were very hypervascular in the peripheral solid area and internal intercystic space and showed low-impedance flow. We conclude that sclerosing stromal tumors should be considered in young women with menstrual irregularity who have hypervascular solid and cystic adnexal masses.
