A case of a sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) of the ovary is presented. One of the tumor's characteristics was its high vascularity. On immunohistochemical staining, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was positive for both cellular and edematous areas in the tumor. VEGF was thought to be a factor that affected the clinicopathological features of this tumor.
