[Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary associated with a Meigs' syndrome and pregnancy: a case report].

The sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary is an extremely rare benign tumor more common in young women and without specific symptoms in most cases. Less than 150 cases have been described, of which 8 were diagnosed during pregnancy. In this report, we describe the association between sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary, Meigs' syndrome and elevated levels of CA-125 in term pregnancy.

Ovarian reserve assessment for infertility investigation.

The current trends to postpone motherhood and the increase in demand for assistance in reproductive medicine highlight the need for seeking guidelines for the establishment of individualized treatment protocols. Currently available ovarian reserve tests do not provide sufficient evidence to be solely considered ideal, but they may occupy important place in initial counseling, predicting unsatisfactory results that could be improved by individualized induction schemes and reducing excessive psychological and financial burdens, and adverse effects. In this paper, we revise the role of hormonal basal and dynamic tests, as well as ultrasonographic markers, as ovarian reserve markers, in order to provide embasement for propaedeutic strategies and their interpretation in order to have reproductive success.
