Sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) is an extremely rare, benign distinctive ovarian sex cord stromal tumor. The tumor occurs predominately in the second and third decades of life. Due to the presence of both solid and cystic components with rich vascularity,it can be mistaken for malignant ovarian tumors on ultrasonography and other radiological investigations. Distinctive histopathological features and immunohistochemistry(IHC) conrms the diagnosis. Proper diagnosis of SST is important, which prevents extensive surgical intervention done in cases of ovarian malignancy. Herein, we report clinical and histopathological features of SST in a 23year old female who presented with complaints of intermenstrual bleeding associated with abdominal pain and underwent laparoscopic cystectomy. It is imperative to consider sclerosing stromal tumor as one of the differential diagnosis in young females presenting with complex ovarian mass. Frozen section analysis could be done intraoperatively to rule out malignancy, so that conservative surgery can be performed
