Abstract

Stromal tumors of the ovary represent approximately 3% of ovarian neoplasms and up to 10% of all ovarian malignancies. This encompasses a diverse group of malignancies that vary in clinical presentation, natural history, prognosis, and recommended treatment. This chapter discusses the details of these rare tumors, provides a general treatment schema for such tumors, reviews details of pathological features, and provides a detailed discussion of surgical and nonsurgical treatment recommendations for patients with each specific tumor type. In addition, the issue of conservative management for preservation of fertility is discussed, and new information regarding genomics is presented.
