Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary: A case report

Abstract Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) is an extremely rare and benign ovarian neoplasm of the sex cord stromal category which occurs predominantly in the second and third decades of life. Herein, we report a case of sclerosing stromal tumor of ovary in a 22 year old woman who was clinically suspected to have malignancy, but proven to be SST of ovary on histopathological examination. Hence, in such circumstances it is essential to keep in mind the possibility of sclerosing stromal tumor in a young woman

TUBERCULOSIS OF SPLEEN PRESENTING WITH PYREXIA OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN IN A NON-IMMUNOCOMPROMISED WOMAN

Splenic lesions due to tuberculosis are extremely rare in immunocompetent indi-viduals and delays in diagnosis are frequent. Here, we describe a 49-year-woman presenting with pyrexia-of-unknown origin with no evidence of any immunodefi-ciency. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed an enlarged spleen having multiple small focal hypodense lesions; the later were confirmed to be of tubercu-lous etiology on histopathological examination. She had favorable response with anti-tubercular chemotherapy. We report this case of tuberculosis spleen in an im-munocompetent individual for its rarity and to highlight the fact that these patients can be managed by medical treatment effectively
