Youngest Reported Patient Presenting with an Androgen Producing Sclerosing Stromal Ovarian Tumor

Sclerosing stromal tumors are extremely rare sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary, with approximately 100 cases reported since first described in 1973. These tumors present predominantly in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life, typically present with pelvic/abdominal pain and tenderness, mass, and/or abnormal menses, and with hormonal activity reported predominantly in postmenarchal females. Only 5 cases of these tumors have been reported in premenarchal girls, with age ranging from 7 months to 12 years.
