RATIONALE: Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is rare. We describe the first case of ovarian SST with estrogen excess with both clinical and serological evidence in a postmenopausal woman.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 70-year-old female who referred menopause 14 years ago was admitted with postmenopausal bleeding for 3 months. Ultrasonography revealed thickened endometrium of 6 mm and no adnexal masses. An elevated serum estradiol level of 49.78 ng/L was revealed in laboratory examination with normal ranges less than 27.25 ng/L in postmenopausal women.
DIAGNOSES: The final histology diagnosis is SST of left ovary and endometrial hyperplasia with polyps.
INTERVENTIONS: Laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed and a solid tumor with a diameter of 3 cm × 2 cm from the left ovary was found intraoperatively.
OUTCOMES: Three days after removal of the tumor, the serum estrogen level was decreased to normal which indicated the estrogen activity of the tumor.
LESSONS: To the best of our knowledge, it is the first reported case of ovarian SST with estrogen excess with both clinical and serological evidence. The present case illustrates the necessity to consider the rare possibility of ovarian SST as a cause for estrogen excess leading to postmenopausal bleeding. Hormonal evaluation (estrogens, androgens) should be considered in women with postmenopausal bleeding regardless of imaging examination.
