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.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D018312 Sex Cord-Gonadal Stromal Tumors Neoplasms derived from the primitive sex cord or gonadal stromal cells of the embryonic GONADS. They are classified by their presumed histogenesis and differentiation. From the sex cord, there are SERTOLI CELL TUMOR and GRANULOSA CELL TUMOR; from the gonadal stroma, LEYDIG CELL TUMOR and THECOMA. These tumors may be identified in either the OVARY or the TESTIS.

D018615 Ultrasonography, Doppler, Color Ultrasonography applying the Doppler effect, with the superposition of flow information as colors on a gray scale in a real-time image. This type of ultrasonography is well-suited to identifying the location of high-velocity flow (such as in a stenosis) or of mapping the extent of flow in a certain region.
