Department of Pathology, University of Cape Town.

In a clinicopathological study of 70 Brenner tumours in 61 patients seen at Groote Schuur Hospital during the 30-year period 1956-1985, 68 were benign, 1 malignant and 1 proliferating. Fifty-seven were pure tumours and the remainder were mixed with other ovarian neoplasms. The age range of patients was 26-71 years (median 49 years). Most of the Brenner tumours were incidental findings and probably not responsible for the symptoms or signs, which were most commonly a pelvic mass (28 patients) and abnormal vaginal bleeding (15).
