Abstract
Ovarian sex cord–stromal tumors (SCSTs) are uncommon neoplasms that are known to have a wide morphologic spectrum and which accordingly may be diagnostically challenging. The keys to accurately diagnosing the tumors in this group is to recognize the full pathologic spectrum of every constituent entity and to consider the possibility for each ovarian neoplasm encountered that is plausibly in the differential diagnosis.
