Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumor
Ovarian Sex Cord Stromal Tumors arise from the hormone-producing cells of the ovary and can produce estrogen or other hormones.
They often present with abnormal uterine bleeding, abdominal discomfort, or pelvic masses. Early detection and treatment are essential for preserving fertility and preventing spread. Management typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, sometimes sparing the ovary, followed by chemotherapy when indicated.
