Fine needle aspiration cytology in sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary: A series of three cases

摘要

Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is a distinct subtype of sex cord-stromal tumor, which is derived from the ovarian stroma and, in turn, from the sex cords of the embryonic gonads. It is a benign tumor, predominantly, unilateral in nature and mostly involves the right side of the ovary. Histopathological features are characteristic and are well described in the literature; however to the best of our knowledge fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has not been described previously. We present FNAC findings in a series of three cases of SST and discuss the cytomorphological features. We have described Call-Exner like bodies in one of our cases and hence, suggest that these may not be an exclusive feature of granulosa cell tumor. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2011;
