A 72‐year‐old woman was admitted with abdominal distention and a hard mass in the pelvis. Abdominal laparotomy was performed, and a large solid left ovarian tumor was found. Left salpingo‐oophorectomy was carried out. Histology showed cords and nests of stratified high cellular epithelium with dense eosinophilic material in epithelial nests and dense fibrous stroma identified as a Brenner tumor of the ovary. Because mild to moderate cytologic atypia with mitotic activity was present, a diagnosis of proliferative Brenner tumor was made. After the operation, the patient was in good condition with no recurrence or metastasis so far.
