Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) is a rare benign ovarian tumor of the sex cord stromal type, occurring predominantly in the second and third decades of life. This tumour is characterized microscopically by having a pseudolobular pattern with cellular areas separated by hypocellular densely hyalinised, edematous stroma interspersed with few prominent blood vessels. Histopathological features which differentiate it from other stromal tumors. We are presenting this case because of its rarity and its simulation with various other ovarian tumours; here we have made an effort to highlight the his tomorphological features and microscopic differential diagnoses of this rare tumour
