Abstract

Brenner tumors are rare surface epithelial stromal tumors that account for less than 1-2% of ovarian malignancies. Brenner tumor can be benign, borderline, and malignant. Benign Brenner tumor is common as compared to malignant Brenner tumors. They tend to occur mostly in post-menopausal women. About 90% of Brenner tumors are unilateral. Here we present a 66-year-old female diagnosed with malignant Brenner tumor in one ovary and benign Brenner tumor in opposite ovary simultaneously.
