Abstract

We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with an androgen-producing sclerosing stromal tumor found during the eighth week of gestation in association with ascites and elevated serum androgen and cancer antigen (CA)-125 levels. The combined features of ascites, elevated serum androgen and elevated CA-125 in association with this rare type of ovarian tumor is unusual. Surgical removal of the tumor resulted in relief of symptoms, resolution of ascites, and decreases in serum androgen and CA-125 levels. The pregnancy was uneventful.
