Introduction And Importance: Fibroma, thecoma, and fibrothecoma collectively denote a range of non-cancerous sex cord-stromal tumors distinguished by the presence of fibroblastic stromal cells and/or cells resembling luteinized theca cells.

Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case study of a 52-year-old patient in whom this uncommon tumor was identified via MRI, highlighting the distinctive diagnostic and treatment considerations associated with it.

Clinical Discussion: Ovarian fibrothecoma tumors are infrequent, constituting less than 4 % of all ovarian tumors.

Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) is a nuclear transcription factor that shows consistent nuclear staining in colorectal adenocarcinoma and osteosarcoma. Following the observation of cytoplasmic staining with this marker in luteinized ovarian stromal cells, we studied the expression of SATB2 in ovarian stromal cells, various types of follicular cysts, and sex cord-stromal tumors. Eighty-five cases were stained for SATB2.

Sclerosing stromal tumors of the ovary are benign and tend to occur in youthful women with lobular structures at low frequencies. Three types of cells, including luteinized cells, short spindle myoid cells, and intermediate cells, are found in the lobules which abundant in the blood vessels. Currently, immunohistochemistry is used to detect normal follicles, sclerosing stromal tumors, granulosa cell tumors, and fibromas/thecomas.

Pathological discrimination between luteinized thecoma associated with sclerosing peritonitis and thecoma.

Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology, Hubei Province, China.

Background: Similarities between luteinized thecoma associated with sclerosing peritonitis (LTSP) and thecoma, cause difficulty in clinical differential diagnoses. To improve the situation, we selected 10 specified molecular pathological markers that are frequently used in clinical pathology of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors to determine whether they exert a discriminatory effect.

Methods: Applying immunohistochemistry, we analyzed the expression of alpha-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein 6-beta-n-acetylglucosaminyltransferase B (MGAT5B), nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCOA3), proliferation marker protein Ki-67 (MKI67), estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, Vimentin, receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2, Catenin beta-1 (β-Catenin), CD99 antigen (CD99) and Wilms tumor protein (WT1) in 102 cases of diseases containing 11 LTSP and 91 thecoma.

Aims: Since the sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) of the ovary was first described in 1973, few studies have expanded upon its histological features or overlap with other tumours. We thus investigate these aspects based on our experience with 100 cases.

Methods And Results: The patients, 14 of whom were pregnant, ranged from 12 to 63 years (median = 26 years).
